Former Chipolopolo player Lyianga Chiwanki was Monday night stabbed to death in Lusaka’s Chawama township.
Chiwanki, recently recalled to Red Arrows after spending the last two seasons at lower league side Lusaka City Council (LCC), died on the spot.
Sources have disclosed that Chiwanki was in the company of his young brother at a place called JCC.
The sources say Chiwanki’s brother found himself in an altercations and confusion ensued.
“At this point Chiwanki was trying to stop the fight and the other people used a knife. He was stabbed in the chest and died right there,” the source said.
Chiwanki was a regular call up for Herve Renard in the 2008 and 2009 soccer seasons alongside Judge Mkandawire and Whiteson Simwanza. The player was due to make a return to Arrows this season.
