Chisale charged at court for murder of Njaunju: Remanded at Maula Prison

The Lilongwe Magistrate’s Court has formally charged former president Peter Mutharika’s personal bodyguard Norman Chisale with murder pertaining to the killing of Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) director  of corporate affairs Issa Njauju.

Chisale charged with murder of Njaunju

Chisale, however, did not take plea as the case is supposed to be committed to the High Court at a later date where trial will take place.

Chisale denies the murder allegations.

He was transferred from Blantyre yesterday after his re-arrest on Tuesday over attempted murder charges.

He was initially arrested in Lilongwe on charges of importing cement duty free using Mutharika’s TPIN.

Meanwhile, Chisale has been remanded at Maula Prison waiting for the trial.

The case has since been committed to the High Court for trial.

Police made several arrests in connection with the July 2015 macabre murder of Njauju who went missing for two days before his body was found by sand miners half-buried and his official vehicle, a Totota Hilux double-cabin pick-up, destroyed in a different location.

Those who were arrested in connection with the murder are two police officers;  Sergeant Titus Thombozi who was attached to Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) at Mchinji border, but he was operating from Mchinji Police Station and  Christopher Naphiyo.

The first suspect to be arrested and charged with murder was Frank John who was found with Njauju’s mobile phone handset after donors stressed that the murder was an attack on the justice system and fight against corruption.

Post-mortem results revealed that Njauju’s body had bullet wounds in the neck and stomach.

According to acting British High Commissioner David Beer, a UK-sponsored homicide expert already investigated and submitted a report to Malawi Police Service.

  1. DPP WAS NOT ONLY A CORRUPT AND FRAUDULENT PARTY BUT ALSO PARTY OF KILLERS WORSE THAN THE OLD MCP OF KAMUZU AND TEMBO. DPP MUST NOW DIE AND BE BURIED.

  2. We also want justice for the death of Robert Chasowa. The Commission report mentions a number of politicians , now in opposition, mostly in UTM.

  3. Shaaaaa! Now he is carrying a red Bible! Stupid man without shame and respect for the word of God! He thinks the Bible is something to play with? When he was committing all these atrocities, did he read and see that the Bible doesn’t accept stealing, robbery, murder, corruption and all that? Such an empty headed man he is! It’s too late now, the Bible collected dust when you were enjoying the loot! Now you are trying to carry it to save you, too late!

  4. Oh my word……..No words can Express this strange mind blanking feeling of having such barbaric actors criss crossing the country ‘s top most residence!!!!!! It’s very sobering event indeed. My ppl now you know at least why the other institutions remained quiet… If they chose to shout, we could be having many many many Njaujus and Chasowas!
    This is the time we need thank God for Timothy & HHRDC, Mama Carista, Concourt big five plus to part each other ‘s backs for standing up together!
    I think Coz of the sheer numbers these master minders were overwhelmed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Thank Jesus.

  5. At last, justice is being done for Mr. Issa Njauju ( may his soul rest in everlasting peace), and the hidden truth is finally coming to the surface.

    From today onwards, Sadyeka adzidyeka pang’ono pang’ono, pang’ono,pang’ono, ndi mapfupa omwe mpaka kutha phyiti.

    Chipha maso…Baibulo chiligwirireni mmanja Chisale. Komano ma deal ndi zinyakanyaka mbwee!

    Nanga kukayamba kutuluka za imfa za abale athu a khungu la chi albino?

    This reminds me of a song which used to play on the radio about 30 years ago, when I was growing up.
    I think it was sung by a Seventh Day Adventist acapella group.

    It went like this….

    Musamanamizire kupita ku tchalitchi, pamene njira zanu zili zosayenera.
    Pakuti mubisala pa maso pa anzanu.
    Koma Mulungu yekha akuwona.

  6. At last, justice has been done for Mr. Issa Njauju.

    Sadyeka kuyambira lero adzidyeka pang’ono, pang’ono, pang’ono, ndi mapfupa omwe.

  7. What was this man thinking when committing all these crimes pending to be charged for?Is it still political witch hunting as per anyamata aza BLUE??? Shame on you!!

  8. That’s what happens to the treasures of the world. You accumulate a lot of wealth but see now, “zonse ndi zachabechabe, zongosautsa mtima” as per Billy Kaunda’s song. Timudziwe Yesu.

    1. That’s right, have a personal relationship and not just carrying different colours of mau oyera 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  9. Kodi why sparing Noel Masangi,Louis Ngalande nad Chidantti Malunga on Robert Chasowa’s death kkk.MCP/UTM zoona mulinazo koma mukuwasiywa bwanji kumangokanganilana Chisale kkkk.Regime Change paja kodi kkk

    1. ‘Mwinithako’, show patience and not to worry at all, one case at a time! The police are now focussing on Njaunju’s case, Buleya Lule,s case and and very soon they will be looking at Robert Chasowa’s case, Nsundwe raping cases and both cases in which police officers were killed! They have a lot work to do piled from Peter Mutharika’s regime but they will find all the criminals!

    2. ATHANE KAYE NDI CHISALE YU KENAKO AKUBWELA KWA MWAPASA NDI MA DPP CADET ENA AMENE MASANGWI ANKAWAGWILISA NTCHITO PANKHANI YA ROBERT CHISALE

  10. Just feel the Christian community must condemns the spirit behind Chisale of carrying the Bible as his weapon against what is on the ground! He must not and not again portray the picture of carrying this book as if he got his power of doing all sorts of things from this Bible! This is not good at all! This is a curse to the community! Don’t hide yourself in the Bible, hide yourself in the word written in the Bible which is the word of God that says, don’t steal, don’t kill! That is why Moslems are coming barely to tell us that we have had read old and new testament and find some other ways of ourselves being stupid! This is an insult to the family! Then let’s read their book called Quaran(spl) so that we can not have people like Chisale! This a slap in the face of God! This is bad! May God forgive us!

    1. It’s like this guy has killed many people in my view! All those who goes to the church he built and donate it to the community, are all they ok Spiritually or they are all dead? I mean umphawi siwabwino mwanva, the whole church was indeed of money and the money is coming from the Mafia,the killer and build the house of God? Oh come on! This is not good Indeed!

  11. The Pablo Escobar of Malawi is Norman Chisale and General Manuel Noriega is Peter Mukhito. Chisale and Mukhito acted like drug barons and were very dangerous because they had the authority unduly given to Muthalika as per constitutional court ruling. They had a license to steal our taxes. They control MRA. What was Peter Muthalika doing? Was he the leader or he was just sleeping at the palaces? He created a Mafia state with the messengers of the Chisales like Bangwe 1 and Ntopwa 1 doing the dirty work as well. Police please do your job.

  12. Kuno ndi kunjadi kudayanja lichero. Chisale amaona ngati dziko lili m’manja mwake. Lero zatembenuka.

    Chonde apolisi ndi makhoti athu, msamunyengerere munthu ameneyu.
