A 35-year-old man has been arrested by Chikwawa police after murdering his parents over allegations of practicing witchcraft.
Chikwawa Police spokesperson Dickson Matemba has identified the suspect as Patrick Matchado and the deceased as Frank Matchado, 56, and Nakiyera Chinkobwe, 53, both from Kadulira Village Traditional Authority Ngabu.
