Zanzibar Female Lawyers Association (ZAFELA) and Tanzania Media Women’s Association, Zanzibar (TAMWA ZNZ) are saddened by the acts of cold-blooded killing of two women which took place recently in Bububu Kijichi and Mbuzini West District "A" West Urban Region Unguja, respectively.

According to the Police Force and media reports, the two women - Laura Msemwa (23) and Khairat Juma Bakari (28) have been killed by unknown assailants.

The information added that the killings that occurred on 20/05/2023 took place in the same week thus brings attention concern to the community particularly women and girls.

ZAFELA and TAMWA-ZNZ regret that the assailants are at large; and they haven’t been arrested, according to the Police report issued to journalists on May 25-2023.

It is against this background that TAMWA-ZNZ and ZAFELA call for the police to use all means possible and its resources to nab the culprits.

Also, TAMWA-ZNZ and ZAFELA argued the police force to expedite investigation so that the suspects will be brought to justice.

According to the records by TAMWA-ZNZ and ZAFELA from the year 2016, some 23 women and children were brutally murdered whilst justice has not been easily secured.

We believe that in a small community like Zanzibar, it may be easy to apprehend culprit if there is good investigation and community cooperation.
