Ex-convicts and street abandoned children are suspected to be behind terror and brutal attacks in Blantyre CBD and residential areas.
These criminal activities happening in broad day light and night has led to serious injuries, loss of lives and property.
For instance, a MUBAS student is battling for his life after street kids attacked him on Monday.
These attacks are prominent around Naperi, Chichiri and Chitawira targeting students’ hostels in order to steal phones and laptops.
A motorist on a fuel queue was also recently robbed by panga knives at Kanjedza.
The escalating cases of crime are blamed on the recent presidential pardon of 2,298 prisoners.
But Blantyre police spokesperson Peter Mchiza has dismissed reports of security lapse.
