A resident of Greenwell Matongo Location at Katima Mulilo Calvin Sinyepe was shot and killed on Friday by unknown assailants near his house.

The 42-year-old Sinyepe was returning home when he was shot and killed in cold blood.

Sinyepe was an employee of the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture in the Zambezi Region.

It is suspected that Sinyepe became a victim of the assailants who were busy executing a house-breaking in the same street where he lived.

He was shot before he could reach his house on the road reserve, less than ten metres from his house.

No one has been arrested in connection with his murder.
