Reports from America suggests that Zambia Must Prosper (ZMP) president Kelvin Bwalya Fube’s son Oliver has been sentenced to 55 years for the murder of Alan Diaz.
According to court records, Oliver Bwalya was convicted of murder at trial in May 2022 and was sentenced on Wednesday.
Background to the case is that around 23:40 hours on March 3, South Bend Police were called to Elmer Street for a ShotSpotter alert and a call about a man down.
When they arrived, they found Diaz lying on the walkway near the house. He was transported to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Bwalya told investigators he and his accomplices were also involved in a crime in South Bend on March 3, reports said.
Ballistic evidence from the home invasion revealed one of the firearms from Diaz’s homicide was also used in the Cass County crime, according to the probable cause affidavit.
CMHU detectives interviewed Bwalya who said he and three accomplices had been involved in a crime in Michigan and went to Indiana to but marijuana from Alan Diaz, reports said.
Bwalya told police some of the money for the purchase was counterfeit, reports said.
Bwalya said he personally conducted the transaction.
