Benson Alukwe, alias Shipande, who is also a gold miner is said to have earlier warned the deceased to cut links with his daughter aged 14. She is also a student at the Musingu Secondary.
"Alukwe had warned the boy to stop dating his girl but he seemed not to have taken it seriously. He found him at Malinya Shopping Centre at about 7 pm with the girl and descended on him with whips leaving him for the dead," said a resident at Malinya, only identified as Juma.
