“I can confirm a sad incident in our district where Chanetsa mistook animal chemical that he had sought from neighbours for alcohol,” the official said.

“He was drinking small illicit beers so he put the chemical in a  bottle of beer and on his way home he drank the chemical thinking it was beer, he was rushed to Howard Hospital where he died upon admission.”
