Death in custody: An autopsy into the death of Buleya Lule who died in a police cell, has revealed that Lule died of electrocution.

Lule died in police custody after he appeared in the Lilongwe Magistrate’s Court on February 21 on the first day of trial over the abduction of Goodson Makanjira, 14, from Mphanyama Village, in Traditional Authority Chilikumwendo, Dedza.

The accused, who had pleaded not guilty and was charged together with five others, is said to have been offered the abducted boy by two of the fellow accused, including Makanjira’s step-father, for a price of K800 000.

The autopsy results for Lule  dated April 12 2019 revealed that the deceased was electrocuted and hit on the head with some metal bars,  stating that the type of the injuries seen constitute torture.

Apart from Pathologist Dzamalala, others involved in the autopsy included criminal investigations police officers, Association of Persons with Ablinim in Malawi  (Apam) president Overstone Kondowe  and MHRC. It was witnessed by Lule’s relatives.

The report states that Lule  died after sustaining three main injuries to the head, tummy and on his buttocks.

MHRC executive secretary, David Nungu said they commissioned pathologist Dzamalala to do the autopsy to help in their inquiry on the matter.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) chairperson Timothy Mtambo and his deputy Gift Trapence have said they will continue pushing “to bring to book those response for the killing of Mr Buleya Lule.”

  1. That’s what our deformed ( not reformed) police are good at. Ndiye mukapha munthu chonci akazi any ndi ana mumawauza chiani? Mumanyadila kuti lero taigwila ntchito?

  2. I can’t wait to see Dr Lazarus taking over from Peter after 21 st May. Nkhani imeneyi ilondoledwa bwino ndithu.

  5. Malawians, we have a chance to make it right on 21st May, next month. We cannot let a certain section of people be more equal than others. These are the people who think they are above the law. Let me balance you why we need change.

    We have a government intent at closing any leads to arresting perpetrators of albino killings. Unfortunately we have some people who see nothing wrong with this including the very victims. We have a greedy albino grouping that is content dining with the devil himself. This grouping of greedy albinos needs to ask itself this question, “Why would a government go to lengths killing those with information leading to the arrest of the culprits if powerful people within the government are not involved?” If government is really serious, it needs to arrest all those police officers involved and charge them with murder. They can only get a lighter sentence if they disclose under whose instructions was the murder of Buleya carried out.

    Then we have clowns in the name of Henry Mussa, Samuel Tembenu and Nicholas Dausi wasting our taxes holding press conferences defending the indefensible. We are expecting these idiots to hold a press conference disputing the autopsy report.

    1. small talk. this guy was going to reveal some people involved and was silenced. Now your question again.????

  7. My question is what was the motive of killing him-that’s my question to the Inspector General??? Police can not just wake up and kill a person, someone from above is indeed connected to the killing of people with albino

Nonse achitetezo akuphanu, be ready for wrath and anger of the Most High God is coming upon all of you, pamodzi ndi okutumaniyo. kaya mu makhala ku mpanda wa shock wa ma gets, but u will never run away nkwiyo wa Mlungu. ana amasiyewo musamala? atakhala bale wanu mukanapha? Chifukwa alonda inu mumafa osauka, ndrama ya mwaziyo mukunyengera ma hule nkutengaso edzi, chifukwa chake timatupi tanu tinagonja kale ndi ma ARV + kachasu. kutemberedwa, may his soul strike all of u pamodzi ndi otutumaniyo ndi ma banja anu onse, tsiku la 40 ndi lake la Yeho, when it comes, u will never escape it

  24. DPP this adds salt to your already deteorating ratings as far as Malawians are concerned. Remember how the cashgate tainted the image of the then mighty PP, AMALAWI SI OPUSA!

    UTM has found another edge to use in its campaigns. Ofcoz MCP inazitaya kalekale.

    UTM Boma come 21st

  25. Nayenso Buleya yu anali chigawenga, he who reigns by the sword, dies by the sword………..Rot in hell i don’t care!

  28. We should not forget Buleya abducted and killed an albino. Don’t bring politics into this case. It is you CSOs and other people who put pressure on police to find, arrest and interrogate suspects.

    1. Good question and the answer is “the Police are investigating!”. Remember the Police are still investigating Njaujus death, so lets be patient Police work is very tough more especially in some selected cases!!

  30. Adachita cholasa, ati cholasa, adachita cholasa ngati nkhumba, mbale wanga uyu. Mzimu wake uwuse mumtendere anafa wopanda mulandu wosagamulidwa, mulandu uli kwa amene anapha bamboyu.

  31. DPP boma worse than the previous regimes, this government MUST go, boma lakuba, kupha. we should not trust these thugs anymore, achoke adzikacheza ndi zidzukulu gogo Mutharika ku USA. azathawa ameneyi.
