Two Nabbed Over Murder Of Albino Man In Blantyre

Two people, Solomon Kondowe and Masautso Padzuwa, have been arrested two on suspicion that they killed a person with albinism, Ian Muhama.

The body of Muhama, aged 20, was found on August, 13 in Kachere Township without hands and legs, which were later found in Maone Forest in Limbe.

Limbe Police Public Relations Officer, Patrick Mussa, says Kondowe aged 61, hails from Kabanda Village in the area of Traditional Authority Mbwano in Nkhata-Bay, while Padzuwa aged 26, is from Tsenjerani Village in Traditional Authority Dambe in Neno District.

Mussa said a Toyota Hilux belonging to Kondowe, which is suspected to have been used in the commission of the offence, has been impounded.

The two have been charged with murder, an offence that contravenes Section 209 of the Penal Code and have since been remanded to Chichiri Prison.
