Machete-wielding criminals are said to be terrorizing unsuspecting members of the public in broad daylight around an idle and bushy land in the Foxdale area of Lusaka.

Last week, three women were attacked in separate incidents around the area before they were rescued by members of the general public.

An eyewitness has told Diamond Media of how her family rescued a woman on Sunday afternoon from three men carrying machetes, who managed to flee with her personal belongings.
