4 Men Arrested After Brutal Murder of Lesbian

Mbambo's funeral was held on Sunday. A friend of the family says that he saw a man beating the victim outside her home on the day before she was killed, reports The Independent.
Ephraim Mbambo told the grieving crowd that he had been at home last week when he heard a neighbour scream, "nayi ingane ibulawa (someone is killing the child)." The neighbour even screamed out the name of the person who was beating Mbambo.
