Armed men on Monday around midnight killed a man identified as the defense director of KNO/ZRF, repor-tedly after disguising them- selves as one of his missing bodyguards, in what police said was suspected to be a case of factional feud, reports our Lamka correspondet.
Nengzamuan alias Nico-las (36) was already in bed when the assailants reportedly armed with automatic rifles duped his better-half using the deceased's bodyguard mobile phone to gain entry and killed him in his bedroom, local newspapers, quoted the deceased's wife Paukhanching alias Chiching as saying.
She reportedly claimed that the moment she opened their gate a man had positioned a gun on her warning not to scream, which she still did, even as three other men charged towards their room and fired several rounds on her husband killing him at the spot.
Nengzamuan's body sustained multiple bullet inju- ries while the police have recovered several empty cases of AK series rifles and 9mm pistols from the room where he was shot.
He was with the ZRA before he joined the KNO/ZRF.
Shops in Tuibuong area had down their shutters to condole his death while several top ranking leaders of the KNO have attended his last rite.
KNO President PS Haokip is reported to have advocated armed group from taking the path of vengeance as it will neither help create Zogam nor Zalengam.
