A TEENAGER of Lusaka’s Kabanana Township has drowned in an old deep dam filled with rain water in Ngwerere area in Lusaka.
Police spokesperson Ester Katongo said yesterday that the victim had since been identified as Peter Mwandwa, aged 15.
Ms Katongo said the Juvenile went swimming with his friends at a dam but failed to swim ashore whiles his friends managed to.
“The Fire Brigade went there yesterday (Friday) but failed to retrieve the body and only managed to do so this morning (yesterday) and the body has since been taken to the UTH mortuary,” she said.
Ms Katongo has since cautioned some contractors who leave open pits after excavations to refill them as they were a dangerous death trap especially to children.
She also advised parents to monitor their children’s movement especially during the festive season as police received increased number of such cases during the festivity.
