DrowningA 11 year-old boy from Bangwe Township in Malawi’s commercial Blantyre city died on Sunday after drowning in Mwipase stream where he went to swim with friends.

Limbe Police Station Public Relations Officer Widson Nhlane confirmed the incident and identified the boy as Frank Charles.

“The dead body has been taken to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) in Blantyre for postmoterm,” Nhlane said.
