Zambia’s former ruling party Patriotic Front (PF) has claimed that their late member Tutwa Ngulube died of poisoning and demanded for an autopsy.

Member of the Central Committee, Chairperson for Health Dr. Canisius Banda in the company of Hon. Tutwa Ngulube’s relatives have dropped a demand letter at the Lusaka Specialist Hospital along Airport Road, for an Autopsy to be done on the body of the late former Kabwe Central Lawmaker who died on Saturday, December 3 at the said hospital.

“As a Political party we are treating Tutwa’s death as a suspicious death. We want an Autopsy to be done. A professional job to be done. We have just reason to suspect that Tutwa was poisoned,” said Dr. Banda.

The state has consented to an autopsy for Tutwa Ngulube.

Lead Forensic Pathologist, Dr. Luchenga Adam Mucheleng’anga will today conduct an autopsy on the remains of Hon. Tutwa Ngulube.

The autopsy is expected to be conducted at the University Teaching Hospital.
