The police are hunting for 3 suspects who escaped from custody at Lilongwe Magistrate’s Court last month on November 26.

The 3 are identified as 23-year-old Phinious Banda, 24-year-old Wiseman Patrick and 31-year-old Ackim Chalera.

The police report shows that the 3 suspects were taken from Maula Prison where they were on remand to court for trial on various charges.

While waiting to be taken into the court room, the 3 and others were kept in court cells at the mentioned magistrate court.

The Lilongwe Magistrate Court offices are situated close to Lilongwe District Council offices.

It is reported that the 3 escaped by joining the Malawi Sali Bwino protests which were held in the city on the same day.
