A man and two women are in the cooler in connection to a case of theft of chemicals worth millions which occurred at Farmers Organisation Limited in Lilongwe.
Kanengo police spokesperson Laban Makalani told Malawi24 that the three, who are security guards, connived to steal from a shop belonging to the organisation which is located at Area 29 within Kanengo Industrial Area.
Makalani has identified the suspects as Adam Nkutila, 39, who works with Omega Security Company, his wife 38-year-old Stella Matola who works for G4 Security (G4S) and another G4S guard Lucy Chadaimanda aged 24.
