Police in Salima district have arrested two suspects in connection to the recent brutal murder of a person with albinism in Ntcheu district.
Police have identified the suspects as Kenneth Moses Nkhoma, 27, and Herbert Maloni, 39.
The two were arrested on 1 June, 2016 at Chipoka Roadblock around 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
The first suspect, Nkhoma, was employed by Sergeant Steven Mizere of Parachute Battalion in Salima as a shopkeeper in his shop at Kamuzu Road for a year and half. The suspect left on his own and went to his home in Ntcheu last year.
On 31 May, 2016 the suspect came back and asked Mizere if he could buy human bones. Mizere who is married to a Police officer informed his wife who later tipped off Salima Police management.
The soldier was advised to accept the deal and arrangements were made to arrest the suspect. On Wednesday Mizere in the company of his fellow soldier was provided with a civilian vehicle to meet the suspect as a Police team positioned at Chipoka Roadblock.
The suspects were arrested and were found with eight bones suspected to be of human beings. After enquiring from them, they revealed that they are the ones who killed an albino person in Ntcheu.
The suspects also mentioned other people who were involved in the act. Meanwhile, police are hunting for the remaining suspects. The arrested suspects will later be sent to Ntcheu where they will answer charges of murder.
Kenneth Moses Nkhoma and Herbert Maloni hail from Zintambira village and Chalera village respectively all under Traditional Authority Chakhumbira in Ntcheu district.

Diso kwa diso. Anthu tikhale ndi nkhawa mpaka liti? Albinos are equally important. If all of us live in fears, imagine the percentage of development that will be returded. AN EYE FOR AN EYE basi.
