Southern Province Police Commissioner Moono Namalongo has confirmed the incident, stating that the deceased’s 49 year old mother, Mildred Yomena, reported the matter to police after her daughter, Rosemary Mudenda, was found dead on September 7, 2026.

According to police, the mother was at home when she received a telephone call from a concerned member of the public informing her that her daughter had been found dead in her house.

She immediately rushed to the house, where she found her daughter lying in a pool of blood. A blood stained knife was also found near the deceased’s head.
