Police in Lusaka have arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of Ryan Phiri, a pupil of Kabulonga Secondary School.

Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo said those arrested are aged between 16 and 19 years and are believed to be pupils at Twin Palm Secondary School.

Ms Katongo said on December 4, 2020 Ryan Phiri 17, is alleged to have been attacked by a group of people believed to be grade 12 pupils from Twin Palm Secondary School and Golf Sticks were allegedly used in the act and he later died at UTH.

She said the suspects whose names we have withheld are of Lusaka’s Mtendere Compound, Kabulonga and Twin Palm.

“Investigations in the matter have continued as police are still looking for one suspect who is on the run,” she said.
