Confirming the arrest, Dedza police deputy publicist Cassim Manda identified the suspect as Raphael Meketoni of Silota village in the area of traditional Kachere in Dedza.

According to Manda, the suspect bought a bicycle in 2012 and since then it has been used by his brother Tseketsani Meketoni and his sister Odeta Meketoni. But after sometime, Tseketsani sold the bicycle to an unknown person without his brother’s knowledge.

On several occasions, Raphael has been asking his brother and sister to return the bicycle.

Last week, the suspect went to his sister’s house Odeta who has two children with albinism and asked her to take back the bicycle from the buyer.

Raphael told his sister that he would not leave without his bicycle unless she surrender one of her children to him.

Raphael threatened to sell the child in order to buy a new bicycle.

Shocked by the remarks, his sister reported the matter to Tete police unit who later arrested the suspect.

Meanwhile Dedza police deputy publicist Cassim Manda has warned Malawians against the habit of using obscene language that can bring fear among people living with albinism.

“Whether it is your cousin or not but if you are uttering the words that bring some questions, such person would be locked up and taken to court for intimidation charge,” said Manda.

Raphael will appear before court soon to answer intimidation charge contrary to section 88 sub section (1) paragraph (a) of penal code.

Dedza police is currently recorded three cases concerning albinos and two of these cases are about intimidation.

  22. As long as am against this barbaric act of killing albinos, I don’t agree with the arrest of this man,,,,,, after following the issue I think the best way was to counsel this man,,,,,,, he was just quelling with his relative to give him back his bike, he was tired of asking for the bike and he just said give me your albino so that I can sell to replace the bike,,,,,, this man need counseling not arrest,,,,,, THERE ARE REAL ALBINO KILLERS AND ARE JUST WALKING FREELY,,,,, why are those not arrested,,,, I believe this issue is beyond witchdoctors,,,, during muluzi era it was mabere azimayi,,,, during JB era it was maliseche a zibambo and now it’s albinos,,,,, I hope someone somewhere knows the truth of this albino killings

  31. He never meant what he was saying,he only tried to show how badly he needed his bicycle back for it was robbed away from him.If it wasn’t just a threat,he couldn’t even dare to disclose this.he could have done it secretly .i even believe that he never say those words with seriousness ,yet those two thieves made a mountain out of the mole hill just to get rid of him for he said,unless his bicycle is back he will never leave the place.So police,don’t take those lies so seriously.release him ndipo njinga yake munthu abwenzeredwe osati zomusemela chinyazo

  37. I wld propose a death sentence for those found killing or attempting to kill an albino……..running ads in the newspapers or tv / radio wont help change anything,its tym for action anthu akutha awa aaah.Giving em(the culprits) a life sentence jst increases those feeding on our taxes, kill em to restore peace.
