The gist of the matter is that the suspect Phiri has two wives and reports were circulating around Kande area that the Saka was in a love affair with Phiri’s second wife.

On the night of 28, August 2016, the suspect ambushed his second wife’s house with the sole reason of catching the lover.

The suspect who is currently on the run hacked the lover in the head with a panga knife and due to this Saka collapsed.

Saka was rushed to Chintheche Rural Health Centre where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

A postmortem that was conducted at the hospital revealed that death was due to head injury and severe loss of blood. The deceased hailed from Kaswaya village in the Traditional Authority (TA) Kafuzila in Nkhotakota district while the suspect comes from Kasoka village, T/A Fukamapiri, Nkhatabay district.

In a related development, a 23 year-old man identified as Jacob Mbewe died after he hanged himself to a tree in the same district.

According to the deceased’s elder brother James Mvula, on Sunday he received a call from the deceased to meet him at a nearby bush. At around 5pm, Mvula together with a friend went to the said bush only to find his brother hanging dead in a tree.

The matter was reported to police and in conjunction with medical personnel the police visited the scene of the incident where postmortem revealed that death was due to strangulation.

The deceased who did not leave any suicide note hailed from Tondole village, Traditional Authority Timbili in Nkhatabay district.

The incident comes barely three days after another young man Phillip Kasambara also committed suicide around Mpamba trading centre in the district.

  6. i dont see any good reason why this man shud have killed a fellow man.Just because of a woman?come on people,isnt that a clear indication that his woman doesnt love him anymore?Why not just leave her?On the other hand,the deceased dint love his life.

  7. Tell them at Omello Sakala. That’s true he could have divorced his wife. And she was the one to be blamed here. How can she bring a boyfriend to his husband house. What a shame my fellow woman.

  25. That’s murder case.Whether the deceased was at wrong or not,it qualifies to be a murder case.Why cant you just divorce your wife?See now,you have left her and she will continue with others while you are in prison for your whole life.Now,who is a loser there?

    3. He might be charged with murder…. yes…however, even homicides have some defenses eg consider the defense of provocation…. he might have reacted in the heat of the moment. if this is the case, the court will set him free. only the circumstances of the case will tell

    5. The painful part is that maybe she was going out with 10 men and he has only killed one.How many are remaining?Don’t you think they can continue?Amavutikiramo ndi ana paconchi.

    6. omello sakala: in that case, u r basing your argument on assumptions….. eg that there might be 10 guys out there who were going out with this said cheating wife. As it stands, there is no evidence to that effect

    7. I think Omello you don’t know how painful it is for someone who you love and trust to be cheating on you.in short let me ask you do u have a wife? whether they were 10 but those 9 remaining they have learned a lesson. being honestly even me I can kill.it dosent matter how long I will be in prison one day I will be free. but for him he’s gone forever.

    9. No one is happy to commit murder crime but its the nature of circumstances and provocation that push one to the edge. This is not a case whereby one would serve life imprisonment, this guy (the husband) is not a total loser but that Mr. deceased is gone for good, perhaps he even had a family, what a shame!

  27. Hello my name is john I want to give a testimony about my HIV virus that was cured by a great spell caster. Since last 4years I have being a HIV AID patient. I never think I will live long again and am so grateful to Dr sule who help me cured my HIV AIDS last 3 weeks. I was in a great pain so I told one of my best friends; he told me that there is a great spell caster that can cure my VIRUS. I asked him if he had his contact, he gave me his contactl, I contacted him he talked to me and he perform the necessary things and sent it to me through corrier delivery company and deliverd to me at my place and he told me that after two weeks I should go for a test. Which I did, when the doctor told me that am now a HIV negative I couldn’t believe myself I went to see another doctor the result was still the same, I was human on planet earth, so I emailed him and thanked him. Please if you are having a similar problem please visit him/contact him via whatsapp +2348162447651

  44. Bola pamenepo he will be in jail bt he got time 4 himself 2 confess still he has hope after serving he will be released while the murdered 1 he has no any choice kkkk zinazi nzoseketsa

  54. Eventhough its written that we should not judge, but he deserved it well done to the man who killed him maybe others can learn something. even me I can do it why someone’s wife while they are alot of spinsters. he wanted it.

  56. Mphoto yauchimo ndi imfa. Palibe liwu lomwe Mulungu analilankhula lomwe silizachitika. Muzikhulupira mawu a Mulungu, munthu umatuta malinga ndintchito zako. Tisamale. RIP Mr man. Nanunso mayi mulape mumuziwe YESU.

    5. No, but its the deceased himself to lot in grave whereas the husband will just serve some time and then freed to marry again. See what I mean when I say stay away from other men’s cake….?!¿

    1. Hahaha drawing water from some man’s private well is not allowed and will never be entertained. U take a risk, u r caught, u r forced to join ur ancestors kuti akakulange mwambo unfortunately the ancestors will never let u to come back here

  84. will the plea of provocation help to exonerate him???? let him try his luck with this defence…… will the case of mwansomola be applicable to strengthen his defence in this matter??? only the circumstances of the case will tell…..however, it is a viable option

    2. I don’t think he has a strong defence. #Benarm, Remember the reasonable man standard of determining a matter in any criminal proceedings. Here, according to the facts in the article, The accused person planned and prepared in his mind to hunt, catch and harm the deceased once caught with his wife. Hence he was armed with a Panga solely for that purpose. The requirement of “heat of moment” is not available in this case. So many authorities have emerged counsel on the defence of “Provocation” and the law is fully developed in this area, including the Mwamsomola Case you have cited……

    3. Brian mchenga: the man (who hacked the other) entered his house…..probably to see his wife or spend a night there. He had a right to go there….. it is his house. Upon finding someone else on his matrimonial bed(who ever it was) don’t you think the man would react in wat is known as “heat of the moment?” we are not told whether he was already armed when he entered his house…..we are only told that he used a panga knife. He might have picked the weapon right a way in the same house. I would go for provocation…. its a strong defence

    4. In that scenario, then it is applicable. Do you think the fact that the wife was a second wife to the accused person can be a material fact in determining the degree of Provocation?

  90. Fooling around with some one’s wife is a big life risk and doing it in the husband’s own bed is too much daring!!

    4. koma ndikuwona ngati anayenera kuphedwa ndimkazi chifukwa anamuvomera mwamunayo akudziwa kuti alipabanja kale ,chimodzimodzi ngati wapeza mwamuna wako ali ndimkanzi ophedwa akhale mwamuna chifukwa iye ndiye anakamupeza mkaziyo akudziwa kuti ndiwokwatira

    5. #Faith Milanzi. Zimenezo zimakhala nthano chabe pocheza, anthu amakambadi choncho, koma ndithudi ndinkhambakamwa chabe, in reality mamuna wakubayo ndiamene amavulazidwa kapena kuphedwa. Lets face the reality kapena inu mulindichitsanzo whereby mamuna anagwira mkazi wake akuchita zadama ndi mamuna wina ndipo mamunayo anapha mkazi wakeyo?? Hahaha izo zimangokhala nkhani zapabawo ndipamtondo
