A man suspected of stealing a phone was rescued from an angry mob in Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe on Tuesday.
The mob wanted to set the man on fire in Area 23 in the city but police arrived and rescued him.
According to an onlooker at the scene of the incident, the man stole a cellphone from his handicapped relative after the relative had asked the man to help him load airtime in the phone.
After stealing the phone, the man went to Area 23 market to sell it but the potential buyer got suspicious.
“When asked where he got the phone, the suspect had nothing to say which did not go well with the buyer and he later realised that it was a stolen phone,” he told Malawi24.
The prospective buyer alerted other people and they decided to set the thief ablaze.
Police came after the mob had poured petrol all over the suspect’s body.
The law enforcers took him to Area 23 police unit for further interrogations.
Full particulars of the suspected thief are yet to be established.

Very bad only Courts are there to give us real recommended judgements.police is everywhere let’s take them to the police if we can just think of killing athief we are wrong because its not everything handling a stolen staff is athief noooo we need to investigate where?how?why?when?who stole the staff.Let’s just report and take them to the police.
Those men ask Jesus to judge the sinful woman in order “to test him” and impel him to take a false step.

Why would someone find this funny?. What is the use of police force in Malawi? if you catch a thief there are people who are being paid to hundle these situation. you as a civilian have no right to sentence someone to death and nevertheless brutal death like this. This is horrible and if accepted then the whole system will become cracked into pieces.

Very bad
A Malawi mwalusadi phone muchose moyo yooo
That’s what mostly happens when a poor man is caught stealing in Lilongwe. Umaphedwa.
Where is forgiveness Jesus Christ taught us good people?
Malawi as a nation is slowly losing respect for humanity. What is a phone compared to human life? It’s ironic to call ourselves God fearing people when we let big thieves loose in town and sentence to death those poor souls that simply steal just to fill their hungry stomachs. Cry my beloved country

Osakawotcha chaponda bwanji? Pple r stealing huge sums of money & r scot free. Koma ka techno 4n ndie mwat muotcheni, wickidness!
Nanga george mulekeranji kukamuotcha???
People who are saying ‘kumuotcha chifukwa cha phone’ are failing to reason logically. The thing is, he’s a thief….. So, thieves don’t choose what to steal. Thus, if he had a chance to steal a huge amount of money, he would do it. The reason he was about to face the mob justice isn’t that he stole the phone, but he is a thief.As such, he can still anything as long as it’s very useful n beneficial…… Jus wanted to clarify.I’m not on either side though………
Iwe Waba Kangat Pa Moyo Wako Kuti Uwone kuti Ndikoyenela Kumutelo?
This news devastated me…what’s wrong with human’s today;have they been taken over by Satan all,shame on them!! hope they are also arrested

A phone is not worth dieing for these day people have put serial numbers,and id to allocate their phones, so don’t waste your life over small matter like a phone.

Crime is rising every day chifukwa choti
There is no enough jobs for people.
Poverty is increasing instead of decreasing.
Economy of ?? is worse than its ever been.
People are starving, people get paid lower salaries than ?? inflation.
There is no hope for the poor and the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer!
In the most poorest countries crime increases.
The same in the most richest countries, in cities where people are poor crime is always high
Don’t forget this is a Christian based kind of nation, so sharia law can not be entertained. Two wrongs don’t make things right and as christians we have been taught that no one is perfect in the eyes of God. Only God can judge us.
So you are encouraging this thieves to keep on stealing from their fellow poor of the poorest instead of working hard or engaging into small businesses that can earn them a living by the end of the day
Kodi anthu akuba mwawadziwa lero komanso ndi ku Malawi kokha kuli akuba? Nchitidwe uwu ndiwolimbikitsa satanism.
@Lloyd F Nkhoma you have a point, however I disagree with some of your points.
I think there is massive unfairness in Malawi ??.
When rich people steal money from the poor taxes (Ministers) cash gate etc you people do nothing.
Koma when a poor girl the other day did shoplifting, she was walked naked even in front of people even with the presence of police.
Because no one cares when a poor person steal something coz , their lives don’t mean anything.
Koma olemera akaba ma Million, their lives are worthy saving coz they mean alot. Ndiye anthu ngati inu mumakhala ziiiii!
Thanks my brother Spiwe Zulu, let’s just give these thieves a freedom of stealing
The problem is that most people don’t even consider the root cause of some of these things. If our government was efficient and sufficient enough in jobs creation especially for the youth, most of these crimes especially minor ones would have been reduced but we live in a nation where harsh laws are made only for the poor and justice for the rich
Very True Esau Mwamwaya
Phone yomweyo mpaka mukamuotchenga mzanu? Inunso ngakuba koma kuti tsiku lanu la forty silinakwane.
Lloyd F Nkhoma that’s not the issue aise!
Kuba sikwabwino koma
Munthu akaba akamugwira apite naye ku police. People should not take matters in their own hands.
They have no right to do that!
That’s a crime on its own.
Otherwise my point is that
is we give freedom of stealing to our government officials without punishment, why should poor people who steal suffer a crucifying attack and being burnt to death?
That’s unfair don’t you think?
I read a comment that states that this is a Christian country(majority) so “sharia law cannot be entertained” I found the comment quite stupid and inaccurate because under sharia law he would not be set ablaze or sentenced to death so next time before u comment think a little bit do u know what ur commenting about or are u just offending a religion u don’t know about…i say this because I’m a Muslim.. Islam under shariah law will not punish by death for such a crime let alone burning chisilamu chake kapena chinatu…
@ MKAKOSYA iwe chisilamu kaya mmati muslim ndichomachita kuimila pa chulu nkumalengeza kut ine ndmachtsata?aaah za ziiii
@ LOYD MKHOMA even your English is broken kod mumangodziwa kuti mwa commenta et?iwe amako mesa anaba that time bwanj?
Norbet Captain, you could have just leave without a comment because even you didn’t understand what this topic is all about
