  1. While I totally support “shoot to kill” but dieing after being shot on the leg looks abit smocky. Don’t try to hide the truth. Shoot in the head and say it as it is. Otherwise, keep it up. Arms are meant for our security and not that of the criminals. Shoot them!

  2. Mpaka having or driving a Black Man’s Wheels, without being a Bwana Nkubwa or Bwana Pwepwete, or without access to Cashgate money?
    So, where else did he get the money for the BMW? And why run away from the authorities?

  3. Tell me which book when you say brimg them to book. Which month yes we read on 28 but of what. How many were they in total. Are they really of petroda kanengo or you don’t know? Please report profFessionery otherwise 0 out of ten on reporting to both you and your so called edditor. Mbuzi za anthu pitaninso kusukulu there are so many schools now you should enroll. No need to complain of quota.

  4. As much as I don’t celebrate any loss of any life, this soul needed to be put to order cos it was a total manace to the public and it is worth while that it’s been taken off from among us. Well done cops I love people who are willing to serve their country other than those who serve their political masters.

  5. Was that Kanengo or Kamuzu Central Hospital Roundabout Petroda Filling Station and check on the dates, it was in June and not May….. Apolisi ntchito gwirani.

  6. Kodi anthuwa analipo angati? Seems they were more than five that was announced initially. What about the money? Any news as to how much has do far been recovered? Ziri pati???

  7. Wakupha naye aphedwe. That’s the equation yoti tidzigwiritsa kwa akuba omwe akumaphanso pa scene of crime po.

  8. Komatu osamangowathothola anthuwa kuli kubisa wina wamkulu mmpolisimo who might be implicated. Otherwise justice might not see light of day in this issue if all suspects are killed.

  9. More fiiire! Ziliii mushee!
    Big up an eye for an eye…
    Even when a prehended kill them in the cells …

  10. Well done police! Keep on shooging tk kill these thugs. I’ve a few friends of mine in MPS therefore, I will not allow these bandits to keep on killing our police officers who r serving the nation.

    Tiyeni nazoni mpakana zithe zonse ngati zikakamire basi Shaliah law will apply.

  11. We are a small country, by now, all the robbers would have been caught. Next time don’t waste time telling us you are doing investigations that’s stupid talk, do a lockdown immediately cover the area go by helicopter, sniffer dogs, track them and make a statement. Not we are doing investigations, that’s silly talk. You do your investigations when a robber bolts from the cells.
