Social commentators in Malawi have called for death sentences for people convicted of killing albinos.

The commentators were reacting to the case of a man who has been given a 17 year-jail term for killing his niece.

One of the commentators, Stanley Kenani demanded that the courts should give severe punishments to killers of people with albinism since there has been an increase in the horrific incidents.

Henry Kachaje
Kachaje: Backed the idea.

“The killing of people with albinism in Malawi has taken a turn for the worse. In the most recent case, somebody offered to buy eight bones of a person with albinism for K1.1 billion ($1.5 million). The murderer of the 21-year old woman has so far been slapped with only 17 years in jail. With such a joke of a sentence for punishment, the problem will not end. We need a death sentence for these murderers,” wrote Kenani in a Facebook post.

Another commentator Henry Kachaje concurred with Kenani and said the 17-year jail term is “too light”.

Over the past year there has been a rise in attacks targeted at people with albinism in the country. The attacks involves cases of albino killings, attempted killings, abductions, attempted abductions and exhumation of albino dead bodies.

Recently, the Association of People with Albinism (APAM) also proposed that prosecutors should come up with proper charges for the thugs.

  1. We are living in a contemporally world where death sentence is an archaic. After all,ours is a quasi-christian nation where absolute judgement rests in the hands of God. Even Old Testament an eye for an eye doctrine is updated with Christ’s teachings of New Testament Gospels. Change is inevitable for these pple dealing in Barbaric business. I would think LIFE IMPRISONMENT CAN BE THE PROBABLE BEST SENTENCE.

    1. Even if your reasoning is moronic,your conclusion is acceptable.

  3. They are against genetic differences.. They are against cloning (identical genetics).. So what to them is acceptable? Bigots make no damn sense.

  49. Rappe case 18yrs, murder case 17yrs, sure? U stupid gudge is do u compare an albino with goat? To u mud gudge is an albino a human bieng or an animal. I suppose u might be one of albino killers or persecuters. I support the deccion concluded by Social commentaters that all albino murderers and abducters should face death penalities if we r realy sure of eliminating such malpractice behaviour.

  73. Our learned lawyer friends, does a magistrate court have the powers to hear murder cases?

  78. Fellow Malawians let us mobilise ourselves and stand for our brothers and sisters so that this brutality should end. If the courts can not grant DEATH SENTENCE – we can take the law in our own hands and use our brothers who are in the prisons to excute these offenders!

    1. And if you have the wrong or an innocent one murdered by mistake,will you do the honourable thing and commit suicide?

  80. I knew her ..she wz my classmate…and i dont see enough reason of charging a murderer with 17 yrs imprisonment instead of lyf imprisonment or jst plain hanging…dis is nt fair

  85. Its being crazy! Killing is punishable by death or death penalty. 17 years is being not serious in the fight against killing.

  88. Death sentence nde yofunika apa 17 yrs in jail yachani, azikangodya kumeneko ndalama zathu za misonkho ophanso munthu zoona zimenezo?a malawi ife nde ayi kuganiza palibe choncho poti ati democracy, za zii

    1. Thats the maximum sentence by magestrates. However, this sentence will be reviewed by the high court where death or life imprisonment will be detemined.

  89. Komano apa simunatiunikire komwe kwaweluzidwa mlanduwu ndi oweluza wache.Chifukwa judge ameneyo akuinetsa kuti wanyemeredwa ma million.Ndipo bungwe la ACB limufufuze,apo bii akupanga nawo business yomweyi.

  90. Apanso nkhani yopanga kaya protest kaya zipolowe kaya asking courts to give them death sentences. The thing is, they brutally kill our beloved family members. Let’s also pamene tawagwira afiti amenewa tidziawotcha or killing them by cutting them into pieces and let their carcass devoured by hyenas. These people don’t deserve life.

  91. I think as an expert akuyenera kudziwa kuti magistrate sawerudza nkhani yakupha,a recommendable job has been done here anthu tisadandaule awa akalowanso mlandu wa murder Ku high court,kukachokere death sentence mkumeneko.

    2. bro we are also on danger,its not only albinos who are killed even pple without albinizm are also killed. the problem is our media house poti amakokomeza kwambiri albino akaphedwa kusiyana ndi enafe.in short we are all victims whether albioz or without albinizm hence we all need protection from our goverment/police

    6. Nde umva a Amnesty International akutiletsa capital punishment yet they can’t stop U.S.A, China, Iran etc executing convicted offenders. I also wonder why some Malawians oppose capital punishment but support mob (in)justice!

  106. Nyama za mu thengo zikutetezedwa kuposa munthu dealth pelnalty ili bwino koma adziphedwela pa ground kuti ena akamachita azichita akudziwa kuti adzafa imfa yowawa komanso tidzipha tokha usakamupha mobisa ayi dziko lizidziwa kuti lero kukuphedwa awuje

  107. Death sentence is a maximum sentence for murder so there is no reason one can be given a maximum sentence in a case. Doing so may mean the accused is a worst offender which is not true since the case will be committed by other ppo in time to come

  109. wopha mzake nae aphedwe….maring leader amakhalanso anthu otchuka a ulemu wawo y albino analakwa chani albino

  110. Akachajewa osamawatenga ngati ndi a mfundo useless kachaje) (diso kwa diso) One kill alubino should be killed as well.

  112. Why should a murderer who planned to kill for the rust of money be given only 17 years.Its ajoke all those involved be given death sentence

  129. Malawians lets join hands to protest in streets of Bt,LL & Mz against the judgement.Why albino killers are given such a lenient punishment while armed robbers are given 29 years imprisonment.This vividly denotes that our gvt doesn’t count the lives of pple with albinism.They are regarded as outcasts.

  153. life imprisonment the best coz we hv death sentences in our constitution n penal code but its never applied as all president in the democratic era hav refused to sign death warrants so it will b useless again to hv a law which is never applied when the need arise

    1. They are afraid of noisy stupid Amnesty International yet this Amnesty International can’t stop U.S.A and China carrying out executions of convicted offenders. Failure to administer capital punishment has in a way contributed to these murders. Let the law apply without fear.

      1. Murdering criminals for their crimes has never been shown to be a deterrent to other criminals.All capital punishment does is make all society murderers like the criminals they support murdering.Disgusting.

  157. Death sentence ndiye chilango choyenera chifukwa amapanga akudziwa albino sinyama zakuthengo ayi ndianthunso ngati wina aliyense ndipo analengedwa mchifuniro cha mulungu.

  176. Killing is a sin, if you kill a killer you have sinned too. The best way is put them in prison. The love of money is a root of all evils. A kupanga zimenezo chifukwa anamizidwa kuti azalemera unfortunately it didn’t work.

    1. It’s not a sin to kill a killer my bro..if God commanded that the killer to be killed.. How then can be a sin to kill them…it’s God’s command… But must be done by those in authority. It’s a sin if we don’t follow God’s command by not killing them..

      1. You become a killer by killing anyone,other killers included.
        Capital Punishment makes you a murderer.

    5. read the bible well and understand it. there are certain instances where killing becomes permisible. in this case it makes sense to kill them without any second thought. The aim is to protect such wonderful innocent souls. Death sentebce is the only way tht can scare these evil people away from commiting murder.

      1. Murder is always murder.
        Capital punishment is when you have the state murder someone for you.If the person the state murders for you is a murderer,then so are you.You become no different from the person you are murdering.
        Of course your bible condones murder.Your god seems to enjoy murdering children.Psalm 137:9 “Happy shall he be you takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock.”

    9. God did not command people to kill. They just do it in their own. Had it been that he commanded then all the killers in the world would have been killed. Let us pray even harder so that this terrible behaviour of killing in this country should come to an end.

    13. God not god. He cares that’s why he’s just watching so that we may see his goodness at the end. Some people are just evil than devil himself. We are living in Last days where availability of evil things will be 100% worldwide. Readers should be alert!

    15. douglas, do you read the bible? its obvious you dnt coz there so many verses there where God commands certain killings. You need verses?

      1. Check out Deuteronomy or Joshua where your god demand many murders just because it enjoys murder.Such a great moral guide is you evil god.

    21. Guys death penalty is good for such people,oky now imagine 17yrs which we can say is 9 full yrs is that fair to the family of the deceased?

  182. Yes we need that sentence of death we are agree with yr sweet idear kachaje thank u very muc.

  183. Anthu amenewa azinyongedwa basi.atangoti anyongedweko olo awiri you will see kuti anthu ayamba kuopa.zimenezi kamuzu banda sakanazisekerera.
