Malawi Police has said a  49 year-old businessman in Nkhotakota District was on Saturday night murdered at his home.

Kaponda said the criminaks introduced  themselves as “soldiers from Salima”.

He said: “ One of them accused the deceased of being in love with his wife hence they had come to solve the issue amicably.”

Later,  Banda arrived at the house from Kalimanjira Trading Centre where he went to visit his maize mill and the  thugs forced the deceased’s son and his friend into a bedroom and tied them with a rope after threatening the two with a small gun.

“The thugs then dragged Banda into his bedroom where he was making unusual noise,” said Kaponda.

At that moment, Banda’s son shouted for assistance and when people came they found the deceased lying dead on the bed with both hands tied and face covered with a green bathing towel whilst the neck was tied with wire.

The killers had run away.

The deceased’s body was then taken to Nkhotakota District Hospital where postmortem revealed that the he died due to strangulation.

Even in countries with death sentences people continue criminal acts warranting death much as accept security tightening that does not creating a crime free society
