A 30-year-old father, identified as Kafeero aka Ivan K, took residents of Lusaka, Zambia by surprise after he faked his son’s death with a log of wood and then fleeing after he was busted.
The lie was uncovered after residents gathered to mourn his son, Junior which was followed by a vigil – however after the mourners insisted on seeing the boy’s corpse to pay their last respect, they only saw a log of wood in the casket.
Though no one knows why Kafeero will fake his son’s death, however the police has long arrested the funeral service team for questioning as it was gathered that the boy’s father escaped in his car and is still at large.
