The Blantyre Third Grade Magistrate Court has sentenced 28 year old James Linyada to 18 months imprisonment with hard labour for insulting and calling a police officer a bloodsucker.

According to the Blantyre police station publicist Augustus Nkhwazi, Linyada last week stopped Constable Happy Kwisongole who was going home from office and called her a blood sucker.

“Upon hearing this, people who were around at the place rushed to her with various weapons such as stones, sticks and burglar bars ready to deal with the officer,” Nkhwazi said.

It then took the intervention of her landlord who pleaded with the crowd to disperse as the lady was not a blood sucker but a police officer at Kabula police.

In court on Tuesday, Linyada pleaded guilty to the a charge of Proposing Violence at an assembly contrary to section 87 (1)(a) of the penal code.

Passing the sentence, Third Grade Magistrate Catherine Magwira said though Linyada was a first offender, the offence he committed is serious.

The magistrate then sentenced Linyada to 18 months imprisonment with hard labour with no option of a fine.

James Linyada hails from Galeta village, T/A Chekucheku in Neno district.

In a related development, the Blantyre Magistrate Court has sentenced 23 year old Welosi Kambewa to 12 months imprisonment with hard labour for a similar offence.

  17. He deserved it. It starts by name calling, next thing you know people have mobilized to attack you. Kusekelela zimenezi innocent people will keep dying just for being a suspect. People are in fear so anyone who is rumored to be a bloodsucker is at risk.

  22. If some of u might recall better,there was good relationship between local people and the police sometime back,both sides were respecting each other,since police were ordered to shoot people in some cities during strikes,ordinary people no longer trust police anymore.It is better to be respected than to be feared.People have the right to be protected at the sametime itr police duty to protect citizens, the two should balance.

    2. machende ako bakha iwe…you think.you can score some political mileage on this simple straight forward issuue? mr mbolo yokhota…

  23. What Malawi need is a new way of forward thinking.. Malawi cannot sustain itself in all areas of the economy as a soverign state..It does not have the capacity to stand as an independent state..Malawi needs to give up sovereignty and marry itself to a powerful and strong National like China.. Malawi should cede it’s soverenity to China for the next 50 or 100 years ..this will be in the best interest for the present n future generations…if Malawi was a company it will need business rescue..it is a bankrupt nation..it needs a merger or acquisition by a powerful n strong Nation like China…..China is looking for a leg to stand on in Africa..let’s team up with China if we want to see this Nation transform in our lifetime… otherwise there no hope for the future..the future of this national is dark ….We need a referendum to surrender this Nation to China..Let’s accept it we do not have the capacity either mentally nor financially ..our altitude as a nation is not positioned to transform the Nation…We need realistic new thinking…We we’re under British protectorate by force,then nyasaland by force then federation of Rhodesia n nyasaland by force,then we became Malawi by force, dictatorship by force,multiparty democracy by force …not its time to negotiate our new Nationality by free will…Let’s team up with China as a new republic of China in Africa….China is an undisputable powerful and developed force to get married to..let’s divorce ourself from this independence that has no future..we have debts that will still be paid by our unborn children’s grandchildren… Let’s be fair to ourselves n the future generation… We have failed as an independent Nation …its time to team up with big guns…
