Police in Ntchisi District have arrested two people for allegedly stabbing to death a 23-year-old man over a sex worker at Chunganiro Village in Ntchisi district.
The two, Chipulumutso Kanyalo aged 26, and Gilbert Isaac aged 26 are alleged to have killed their friend, Andrew Daniel 23, by stabbing him with a broken glass of bottle on the neck.
Ntchisi police station public Relations Officer sergeant Yohane Tasowana has confirmed and said that according to a report, it is alleged that they were at a drinking joint within the village when Andrew Daniel hooked a sex worker to spend the night with.
Tasowana added that this did not please the suspects as they also wanted to hook the same sex worker.
“Later, a fierce fight ensued between them, and the two took a broken glass bottle which they used to stab Daniel on the neck. He collapsed in a pool of blood,” Tasowana said.
The victim was later rushed to Ntchisi District Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Autopsy done at the hospital has revealed that death was due to haemorrhagic shock secondary to loss of blood.
The suspects come from Waluza village in the area of Traditional Authority Malenga in the District.
