Unbelievable! Girl who was buried two years ago returns home

It was a busy day in Ndola, Zambia yesterday as the remains of Winnie Lufunja, now 19, who is believed to have died on November 12, 2016, were exhumed to ascertain whether she was indeed the one.

Bones and hair were confirmed as human remains after exhuming the burial site of Winnie at Mitengo cemetery at around 17:50 hours.

Winnie, who was buried three days after her demise, re-appeared at her home at the weekend.


The startling news captured the interest of people in the neighbourhood. The parents have also submitted the death certificate and birth certificate to the police to help establish the truth.

The parents and the “resurrected” Winnie are currently at the Police station, awaiting a DNA test to confirm if she truly returned from the dead.
