A 28 year old Limbani Rabson Maliro has pleaded guilty to murdering  evangelist Shadreck Jonas Wame at his house in Salima in 2016.

Maliro, who  worked as the cleric’s househel, pleaded guilty before the High Court sitting in the lakeshore district .

He killed Wame, a presbyterian minister,  in his bedroom. And Police  captured him in Thyolo after a month- long manhunt following the gruesome murder.

The court has convicted Maliro on his own plea and and is expected to be sentenced on Wednesday.
