Abducted child found, Police arrest 7 suspects from Pakistan: ‘Let them face the law in Malawi no deportation’

December 14, 2018 Nyasa Times Reporter 46 Comments

An abducted child of Asian extract has been found just days after he was taken away from Mpingwe in Blantyre and police have arrested seven people including the master minder, the son in-law of the father of the five-year-old boy.

The suspects arrested for abducting the child

Tahil Shail was abducted on December 11 and the abductors were demanding ransom from the father of the child, Mohammed Shail, 34, a Malawian of Asian origin who has a string of businesses in both Blantyre and Lilongwe.

Police say they have now arrested Hanza Akbar, 23, son in-law of Shail and his accomplices Suleman Khan, 36, Faraza Khan, 24, Shazed Khan, 22, all Malawians of Asian origin, Ibrahim Mataya, 21, Malawian and Fahim Azafer, 30, Lehras Khan, 25 all Pakistanis.

The police also say the suspects dumped the boy at a Mosque in Kanjedza.

The law enforcers say they have since seized a Toyota Fortuner vehicle registration number DZ 5044 which was used to kidnap the boy and a Volkswagen vehicle registration number CA 1658 which the suspects used to drop the boy at Kanjedza mosque.

The police say investigations continue to arrest more suspects in the case, which is very alien and rare in Malawi.

Meanwhile, the Asian community is seeking justice on the suspects and watching the matter closely that there should be no corruption to have the suspects deported but get the punishment in the country’s jail if found guilty and convicted.

  4. Nysa do not delete my comment coz you will be doing disservice to my nation. REVOKE their Malawi citizenship in prison them and finally deport them to their country of origin..

  5. Let the corrupt and crooked Indian men become wives or girlfriends of hard core prisoners at Zomba Central Prison. Start with Kareem and these Pakis

  6. bwana sana
    i remeber a time under the Ngwazi when many indians were locked up for crimes.
    corruption has ended Justice

  8. Ma judge aku Malawi chibukhu amawerenga chija dzikuto dzonse dzida lembadwa NOT GUILTY, kwa amwenye.

    They are too corrupt shaaaa… mudapitako? Mudzakhale ndi mulandu mudzawona mukakhala wosauka.They are not protecting the interest and security of the citizens or country.
    We have these people some are good some are criminal… ngati mudakhalako ku UK or America mudziwa nokha kuti awa akadawatani. Pakistan amaphedwa olo life in side.

    1. You must refrain from saying ANWEMWE that’s pure racist. I’m a Malawian living abroad and when I left my country I didn’t take a single tambala from the country.

    2. Who let them into the country in the first place, did they fly and ended up in the city? It’s the corrupt officials you need to put the blame on. Theses lot must be in prison, their citizenship revoked and DEPORTED back to their country of origin. End off!

  9. Let them face the Malawi laws,the initial impression was that Malawi natives did this act which is allien to our culture thereby tarnishing the reasonably good name of Malawi. The courts must speed up this case and I suggest no bail till the case is over and those found guilty serve jail while the acqaacquitted set free.

  11. Welcome dual citizenship! Malawian of Asian origin my foot. A Malawian should originate from Malawi not anywhere else. This ruling by fear of drunken master Chilima will take us nowhere.

  12. But this comes after another Asian swindled us from the Police, milandu yonseyi ipangidwe limodzi. Apa amwenye akuti akufuna chilungamo ziphuphu ayi poti ndi mwana wa m’mwenyenso? Iwowa aloleni koma wathu wakudayo angopereka 20pin azipita kwawo!

  13. So the pangs of corruption know no boundary. Even those who find pleasure in subjecting other human beings to degrading treatment whilst practising corruption fear the excrutiating pain of corruption….

  16. Thank God that the boy has been found and that the culprits have been apprehended.

    Very interesting case though, although horrendous. So the Asian community is demanding stiffer punishment and NO CORRUPTION when administering justice! But I dare say it is the Asian community itself which is at the forefront in corrupting the justice system. A careful scrutiny of immigration records might even reveal that the Pakistanis are illegal immigrants illegally staying in the country due to corruptily-acquired papers. Mark my words!

    Once again, thank God that the boy has been found and that the culprits have been apprehended.

  17. They must be sentenced in the Malawi court as the offence was here in mala8.
    Justice should be served to avoid something like this happening again in our safe country.

    1. and the son inlaw is 23years old!!…i wonder how old was the father in law was when he farthered his dota-wife to the abductor????….i agree with you Nia Hoi, wonders shall never end!!!!!!!

      1. And the abductee is 5yrs, which means the abductor was at least 23-5yrs= 17yrs old when the abductee was born. And that usually wives are usually younger than husbands……….we may be dealing with potentially serial law offenders here.

    2. There is an error in the information. The child was of the father in laws younger brother. The father in law is in his 40s.

  19. I call upon the Malawian Law to punish these foreign criminals by sending to the rightful place ( PRISON) and soon after that DEPORT them back to their country of origin. If YOU the media do not get a GRIP on these individual then you will lose the trust of the public. As from now onwards do not let any foreigner into the country and make sure the corrupt officials are under the radar. Long live Malawi.

  20. The food ration case is far important than this fake story. And these people treat malawians as dogs. They know each other

  24. Foolish, they don’t know that our sim cards are now registered. You can not hide, once you make a phone call, you are visible to the arm of the law.

  28. Join the discussion…no deportation.. if our brothers and sisters ate tried and jailed in foreign jails let them dance to the same tune right here and no where else……watching closely

  30. Please we want justice. Pakistan people are well known with that behavior. Even here in South Africa, Pakistan people they abduct kids even elders and demind a lot of money. My fellow Malawians please wake up.

  31. We just approved dual citizenship stoping of Pakistan of Malawian origin, find better terminology lol kkkkkk

    1. You should get your facts right before you spread fake news. Jamal kharshogi is a Muslim too and was killed by Saudi officials in turkey another Muslim country. Uneducated spreadingnonsense.

  35. Dont worry MY fellow Asian community you started corruption and fond of corrupting police officers in Malawi, this is how you will notice that corruption is evil. my fellow police officers please receive bribes from the suspects and deport them as you are used to doing. Malawi prisons are for Malawians, not Asians. so there will be no justice

    1. I knew all along it was an inside job. We are too porous in our borders and too corrupt head to foot. Don’t surprised if we have Isis or Boko Haram on our soil po be if these days.
