Barely three weeks ago, 40-year-old Stephen Entsi was shot and killed by gunmen who robbed him of his money.

According to sources close to the scene of the incident, the businessman after going to the bank to withdraw some money was waiting to board a vehicle to his destination when the gunmen on motorbikes approached him.

The armed robbers after exchanging some words with the businessman shot him and bolted with the unspecified amount of money which was in an envelope.
