A mob in Nsanje district has torched a 47 year-old man suspected of killing a security guard at Mchacha James around Makhanga Trading centre in Nsanje district.
Police in the district have confirmed the death of Rice Meke who hailed from Mwanabvumbe village in the area of Chief Mlolo in Nsanje.
According to Nsanje police publicist Agness Zalakoma, Meke has been killed at Ruo dock as he tried to cross the river in the area.
“On the night of December 14, 2016, Rice Meke and his accomplices were alleged to have killed a certain security guard in Kanting’indi village in the area and ran away. So as they tried to cross the river at Mchacha James some people identified them and started chasing them,” she said.
Meke was apprehended and the assailants hacked him before setting him on fire.
Investigations on the matter are currently underway but no arrests have been made so far.
Meanwhile, Meke’s death has brought to 10 the number of people killed through mob justice in Nsanje this year alone after seven others were torched to death at Tengani Trading centre for being found with human bones and two were killed at Mbangu village after they were suspected to have stolen goats.
