Lilongwe police station public relations officer Kingsley Dandaula identified the convicts as Alex Chikwama and Dzikambani Gwiridza who abducted and raped the girls between 11 and 13 August at Chimoka area in the district.

“The mother of one of the victims said her daughter went missing on 11 August, 2017 and she heard that someone saw her with the men (Gwiridza and Chikwama) at Area 43,” Dandaula said.

According Dandaula, two days after the girls went missing, the mother reported the issue at Area 28 police unit.

  1. Two ”19 year olds” men. Akanakhala atsikana? Two ”19 year olds” girls…et? Osati women or ladies ayi si choncho? Dziko lokondera ili.

    1. Girls to be called a woman is after 18 years old and boys to be called a man is after 21 years old. But it depends on the country of origin and culture.
