THE Mufulira-based A+ medical student of the University of Zambia who went missing on Sunday morning has been found de@d, his aunt has confirmed.
Joseph Mumba aged 21 was due to travel from the Copperbelt to Lusaka on Monday for his second year at the Great East Road campus after a brilliant academic showing in the first year.
However, Joseph walked out of his home around 10:00 hours on Sunday without telling anyone where he was going and had not been seen or heard of since.
His worried aunt Monica Chisanga reached out to Kalemba this morning saying her nephew had been unreachable by phone and that his last seen time on WhatsApp was 12:59 on the very Sunday he left home.
Monica described Joseph as a quiet, intelligent and and good boy who was moved to study medicine by the desire he has to help people especially when they are their weakest point.
She appealed to anyone with information about the whereabouts of the former Mufulira Secondary School pupil to contact her.
But this evening, Monica told Kalemba that Joseph had been discovered de@d in Kansuswa Forest around 17:00 hours.
“Through this platform (Kalemba) Joseph Mumba was found de@d in the forest by a police officer,” Monica said.
“It looked like he took his own life, I am really broken,” added Monica.
