Eastern Province police commanding officer Limpo Liywalii said the incident occurred on Monday around 19: 00 hours on Magwero road.
After being hit, Diana fell off the motorbike and was rushed to Chipata Central Hospital but died while receiving treatment.
On arrival in Chipata, she was picked at Kapata bus station by her cousin, Josephat Banda, on a motorbike, which is now the most popular form of transport locally in the city.
“While on the way to the village along Magwero road, as they were approaching Chiko farm, she was hit with a stick by an unknown person and fell off the motorbike,” Mr Liywalii said.
Diana is said to have sustained cuts on the head and on the ribs while the cousin came out unhurt. Police have since launched investigations to bring the suspect to book while Diana’s body was in Chipata Central Hospital mortuary awaiting post mortem.
Mr Phiri explained that her younger sister was visiting the village from Lusaka after writing her Grade 7 exams.
“Family members have already arrived in Chipata to pick the body today (yesterday) and they will travel to Lusaka the whole night for burial tomorrow (today),” he said.
