Salvation Army Pastor Major Geoff Friend from Australia who was attacked by unknown people in Malawi when he was on his preaching tour has died, Police say.
Police had a few week ago indicated that Friend got attacked when he was heading to Chichiri Shopping Mall from a hotel he was being accommodated in the commercial City of Blantyre.
He was attacked when he remained with two weeks to complete the tour.
Police Publicist James Kadadzera told the media of the attack and indicated the law enforcers were still probing the incident.
Mr Freind was put in an induced coma at a Johannesburg hospital, but died on Wednesday.
His wife and four sons had travelled to be by his side.
Mr Freind’s brother-in-law Peter Walker said his family was devastated.
“Geoff was a great family man, he loved his family,” he said.
“The family was the centre of his life.
“He was a great dad and he’s going to be terribly missed.
“None of us can believe what’s happened and we’re each coming to terms with that.
“It’s going to be a massive hole.”
Mr Walker said little was known about the circumstances of Mr Freind’s death but it was believed he was attacked by a group of people and sustained serious head injuries.
“We don’t have a lot of information and that’s not been our focus,” he said.
“We’ve been praying for a miracle but that’s not the news we’ve been able to announce today, we’re sorry.”
Mmmm so sad R.I.P major God knows

#shupie Ntaba. Does that imply that it should have been the albino killed and not the white man? Shupie, all human being life matter, its not about the white man’s life or an albino’s life. The way u put it its like as if an albino’s life matters less. I find ur comment very disturbing
Oooooh!!! my Malawi whts wrong with u pple?
Xenophobia in my country…
Ummmmmm thus very bad!!! Where iz the warm heart of Africa??? RIP Man of God!!!!

Anyone who kills men of god do not stay long they die mysteriously or they are either brutally murdered by their own gang members or killed by animals.
high rates of crime have become the order of the day in Malawi!
Too bad

Shame Indeed.
