The remains of a man, identified as Owen Siapulanga from Choma District, were discovered Wednesday morning along the rail line at Kaleya Station in Mazabuka District, Zambia.

According to an unnamed source, the lifeless body was found lying along the tracks by a passerby.

Mazabuka District Commissioner Oliver Mulomba, who visited the scene with police officers, described the incident as tragic. He noted that just a month ago, a similar discovery of a woman’s remains occurred in the same area. Mulomba urged authorities and the community to collaborate in bringing those responsible for such incidents to justice.

As of broadcast time, the police had not issued an official statement. The body has been taken to Mazabuka General Hospital, where a postmortem examination is expected to be conducted.
