A tragic incident unfolded in the Meanwood Ndeke Phase One area of Lusaka, Zambia, on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, as former bank employee Mike Ilishebo, 44, allegedly took the life of his 35-year-old wife, Valerie Franco, before ending his own. Police Public Relations officer Rae Hamoonga confirmed the distressing event in a statement issued on Thursday, April 4.

According to Hamoonga, Ilishebo reportedly strangled Valerie with an electric power adapter cable and inflicted a fatal stab wound to her abdomen with a knife. The police were alerted to the incident by Alice Mapulanga, 38, who reported the disturbing occurrence to the Chelston Police Station through the Ndeke-vorna Police Post.

Upon arriving at the scene, police officers discovered Valerie Franco’s lifeless body in the bedroom, adjacent to the bed, with a knife lodged in her abdomen. Meanwhile, Mike Ilishebo was found deceased in the sitting room, with a black substance emanating from his mouth.

Investigations revealed that Ilishebo allegedly strangled his wife with the electric cable and then fatally stabbed her before consuming a poisonous substance, leading to his own demise. The tragic event is believed to have taken place between 15:00 and 16:00 hours.

The bodies of the deceased were transported to the University Teaching Hospital mortuary for further examination. Hamoonga noted that the motive behind the incident seemed to stem from a prolonged marital dispute between the couple, who had an eight-month-old child together.
