According to a report given by Selina Mazuzo,34, sister to the deceased, their mother left home and went to Balaka. It is alleged that their mother directed her brother(now deceased) to be staying in the house so that the bags of maize that were being kept in the house should be safe.
Since that day, it is alleged that Henry Mazuzo was spotted drunk everyday.

Postmoterm conducted by medical practitioners revealed that death was due to suffocation secondary to strangulation.
Mazuzo hailed from Mphonongo village, Traditional Authority Wimbe in Kasungu District.
