A tragic incident has shaken the community of Mwinilunga District in the North Western Province as a female physiotherapist, Twaambo Hitima, was allegedly killed by her husband. The devastating news was confirmed by the North Western Province Police Commanding officer, Dennis Moola, who provided details of the incident.
Twaambo Hitima, a 36-year-old resident of the low-density area in Mwinilunga district, met a horrific fate on March 18, 2024, around 9:00 pm. Her husband, Coillard Mubita, a 44-year-old Human Resource Officer at Mwinilunga District Health Office, reportedly used an unknown sharp instrument to inflict multiple deep cuts on her neck. The tragic event unfolded after a marital dispute between the couple, as reported by the deceased’s niece, Racheal Nyambe, who is 18 years old and also resides in the low-density area.
Following the heinous act, Coillard Mubita was taken into police custody and is currently detained as a murder investigation is underway. A docket for murder has been opened as authorities work to unravel the details surrounding this shocking crime. Meanwhile, the body of Twaambo Hitima has been transferred to the Mwinilunga District Hospital mortuary, where it awaits a postmortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
The entire community is reeling from the loss of Twaambo Hitima, a dedicated physiotherapist who undoubtedly touched the lives of many through her work. Her untimely death has left family, friends, and colleagues in mourning, as they struggle to come to terms with the senseless violence that took her life.
As the investigation progresses, questions linger about the circumstances that led to this tragic outcome. Domestic violence remains a pervasive issue that affects individuals of all backgrounds, and it is crucial for communities to come together to support victims and prevent further tragedies from occurring.
The loss of Twaambo Hitima serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to address the root causes of domestic violence and ensure that individuals have access to the resources and support they need to escape abusive situations. It is essential for authorities to take swift and decisive action to hold perpetrators of domestic violence accountable for their actions and prevent further loss of life.
Our thoughts are with the loved ones of Twaambo Hitima during this difficult time, and we stand in solidarity with all those who have been impacted by the devastating effects of domestic violence. May justice be served, and may Twaambo Hitima’s memory be honored as we work towards a future free from violence and abuse.
