"I can't explain it. It has no grain of explanation or defence on it. Somebody, for me, just went crazy, For now, the IPID is in the house."

He says Ntumba was a young family man. 


"He was working for Department of Human Settlement and he just got his Master's Degree. He is a father of three with a young wife. It's a sad situation."
