Meanwhile Chief Kasoma Bangweulu of the Kabende people has come under fire from his subjects on accusations of harbouring human crocodiles.
The chief who was in the area to attend this year's World Forestry commemoration event came under attack when the emotionally charged villagers picked the body of Solo Matafwali.
The villagers who wanted to dump the body of the deceased where the chief was sitting accused him of having brought the human crocodiles.
The chief however admitted that there are natural and artificial crocodiles but denied being involved or harbouring any crocodiles.
