Mr Lungu said in Kabwe yesterday that the incident happened around 16:30 hours and identified the deceased as Kelvin Mwansa.
He said Mr Mwansa was stabbed in the neck using a kitchen knife and died upon arrival at Liteta Hospital.
“I can confirm that we have picked up a boy who allegedly stabbed to death a 26-year -old man over a CD he had borrowed. The boy will appear in court soon,” Mr Lungu said.
The juvenile suspect had since been remanded in custody.
