Police at Ndirande in Blantyre on Monday arrested a 40 year old man for killing his three dogs.
Confirming the development to Malawi24 was Blantyre police publicist, Sub Inspector Augustus Nkhwazi who identified the suspect as John Gawanani Banda.
Nkhwazi said the suspect on the material day was preparing to take his five dogs to veterinary office at Blantyre Society for Protection and Care of Animals (BSPCA).

One male puppy which had bleeding nose and mouth and a wound on pelvis was treated with pain relief medications but died Tuesday morning.
