2 Chilenje Police Station Inmates Linked to Murder Of Fellow Inmate
Two inmates at Chilenje Police Station have been arrested in connection with the murder of their fellow inmate Mathias Banda who is suspected to have died in custody.
Home Affairs Minister Ngosa Simbyakula told Parliament in a ministerial statement today that Mathias who was locked up in Police cells together two other accomplices on 14th February after being found in possession of a stolen cell phone was found unconscious in the morning of 15th February.
Dr. Simbyakula says deceased was pronounced dead after being rushed to the University Teaching Hospital.
He says Police investigations led to the arrest of the two inmates who were identified during an identification parade by fellow inmates.
Dr. Simbyakula says the two have since been charged with murder.
And Dr. Simbyakula says three Mazabuka Police officers and two neighborhood watch members will tomorrow appear in court for assaulting a female suspect Emily Manyoni who they beat up in the process of interrogation for allegedly buying a stolen Radio cassette.

The two officers should face serious consequences. Police officers behave like thugs when excuting their duties and usually are too excited like they never entered class. sometimes its difficault to distinguish between a thug and Police officer especially those during night shifts as most of them report while drunk on duty who end up beating suspects unnecessarily.

Exactly what one guy called eye witness said would happen in the initial story
I bet the fellows that witnessed the beating will be discharged of their cases and disappear. The OB will disappear, or at least the relevant page.
Just wait and see. Next they’ll say he never was there but collected dead from behind the cop shop.
The fellows in the cell will be charged with the brutal murder, maybe.
Or the fellow will be found to have beaten himself to death by running into walls.
