Chilanga Member of Parliament Keith Mukata has appeared in the Lusaka Magistrate Court charged with murder.
Mukata who appeared before Magistrate Irene Wishimanga could, however, not have the charge read to him due to the absence of his co-accused Charmaine Musonda, his wife.
Mr. Mukata and Ms. Musonda of farm number 214A, Lusaka West, are on May 6, 2017 accused of murdering their security guard Namakambwa Kailiakwenda.
