A 36-year-old man of Plan 2000 Compound in Mazabuka District, Southern Province, has died after succumbing to injuries sustained when his 15-year-old younger sister allegedly poured hot water on him.

The incident occurred on October 11, 2026, around 14:00 hours.

Southern Province Police Commanding Officer Moono Namalongo says the juvenile suspect was at home preparing to cook nshima when her elder brother allegedly arrived in a drunken state, began insulting her and attempted to assault their 60-year-old mother.

Mr Namalongo says the juvenile allegedly became upset, took a pot of boiling water from a brazier and poured it on her brother, leaving him with severe burns.

In a statement to the media, Mr Namalongo says the victim was rushed to Mazabuka General Hospital, where he was admitted for treatment until October 17, 2026, when he was pronounced dead by a medical officer at around 21:00 hours.

He says the matter was reported to the police after the reporter learnt of the circumstances surrounding the death.

Mr Namalongo adds that the 15-year-old suspect has been detained in lawful police custody in connection with the incident.

He said the body is lying in Mazabuka General Hospital Mortuary, awaiting a postmortem examination to establish the exact cause of death.
