  29. I think to some people it would have been good to hear that a woman and a police man have been killed by a man with a knife, that’s idiotic thinking, uzaziona zikazakhala munyumba mwako.

  30. ananyamula mpeni ,panalibe chifukwa chomuphera akanamuombera pa mwendo atleast koma kupheratu wapolisiyo anali ndi cholinga kale ,osanamiza anthu kuti by mistake kumuphako.

  43. It has shown that the policeman is in love with the woman, so he has led a man to greave so that they should be going for rounds peacefully. i hate the policemens…nicknamed, agalu aboma.

  48. GOD SAID U WL DIE BUT HE NEVER STATE THE TYPE OF DEATH TO ANY ONE LKAKWANA LAKWANA BAS, WE HAVE MANY QUESTIONS ON THS KILLING BUT THE MAN HAS GONE. OOPS MY GOD!!!

  50. All those who agree wth officers that they did a good job are fools{vindele vyakufikapo} cant thy shoot his leg or arm than killing him.

    2. If he was really trained on how to shoot and use a gun he cant miss a target, if his target was to shoot a leg he cant shoot a head, and if it was a head he cant shoot a leg.

  51. Don’t just comment guys kuti mutchuke mwava,we’ve lost a life here,if you can check properly you’ll find kuti women are causing us trouble,ndye zomangotii fwefwefwe!!! stop this nonsense,anatani kumuombera mwendo?

  52. This is bad reporting.You do not come up with judgement first.This is partisan reporting next time Police is called do not go.Malawians are war mongers rumour monger negative minded.Policemen were called due security breakdown.They did not just go there hunting for people.Stop quarreling in your houses hoping Police will come to solve your criminal agendas

    1. Paja iwe ndi nzika wa ku South Africa eti? Mmmm a police anthu amagwira tchito yao bwinobwino.Omwe ukumati mbulizo zikuteteza #amako ndi abale ako ku Malawi kuno omwe unawathawa nkumapita ku jonz kwakoko.

  74. police training school yakumalawi kumakhala zibwana dats y mbili yoiPa yapolice singathe ndipo pazakhala povuta kut wapolice azapatsidwe ulemu

  78. Police do ur best to protect ur life its when u can protect somebody’s life. Its the rule of law in military. The hazardious man had his knife in his hand to protect and defend himself as he pretended u his enemy. So what u have done z what u got trained. Uwu mlandu wanu ayi. Inu munapita kukateteza. zomwe munakaona zinakupangisani kuziteteza kwa chidandangacho. Chaziphesa chokha.

  84. Ndeu it was temporality, ikana natha Banja nkuma pitilira , koma taonani apha munthu ana ake apita kuti nkaziyo uma sie walowa basi poor mw Police

  90. Ali bho, he has waphwanya history ameneyo, fanz ina imalowa upolice koma mpaka kukwezedwa maudindo phwii mpaka retirement osaombako mfuti ataa, ali bhoo, keep it up, but osati ubwere kuden kwangatu ohoo

  97. In other countries that’s a huge crime committed by the police and the perpetrator may end up in jail and government sued lots of money but poti nkumalawi abnormal behavior is normal ,,munthu amalora kuima mu bus from LL to BT kumadusaso ma roadblocks,rip the victim

  99. Though its sad news but laughable. The police wanted to calm down an angry man but in doing so they have calmed him down to his grave. Our police, was it difficult to dismember his leg or arm? Where is your professionalism in this case? It’s disgraceful.

  100. Mapholisa Mapholisa pinachitemwepi ndi uve maningi mwava.Imwe kuchimwana kumphata namanjanu khaninga iye adali namfutoi pontho.Mapholisa Mapholisa mapywala anu namifuti yanuyeneyo mwapivabiii

    2. Reform ukunena iwe nde iti,munthu watenga chida moyo wa munthu wina uli pa chiopsyezo basi apolisiwo angomusiya. Pajatu nowadayz akuti #Mphamvu_ku_anthu awuzeni aphungu anu kuti akapita ku parliament akapange zongoithetsa Police imeneyi ngati siikukuthandizani.

  108. This dude had an offensive weapon with which, if he was not properly handled, would have injured one or more of the law enforcers. Well trained officers: your safety first. We’ve seen pple being shot at and this ‘harshband’ would’ve not been an exception!

  109. Shaaaa!!!!!Malawian police, failing to handle such piple? kupha ndie simple kwa inu?where were the rubberbullets? Mpaka moyo wapita basi.

  122. Enanu nkhaniyi sikuimvetsa. Munthuyu siwakuba kma amakangana ndi mkazi wake ndipamene anthu anakamunenera ku polisi chifukwa munthuyo anatenga mpeni kumanja. Apolisiwo poshuta samafuna kumupha kma kulepheletsa mkuluyu kugwiritsa ntchito zina zomwe anatenga. NDI NGOZI IYI

  123. Dats de only problem. when the day for your death has come den it has come coz the police are saying they never meant to kill him but de bullet missed target at last he has died. May HSRP
