First Merchant Bank robbery prime suspect Malunga dies
Notorious criminal, Perekani Malunga who was arrested in connection to First Merchant Bank (FMB) MK90 million robbery, has died, police have confirmed.
Malunga was remanded at Chichiri Prison and died in the wee hours of today (Monday) at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH).
The ex-husband to Blantyre Police officer, Blandina Chanika was among the robbers who shot dead one police officer and injured two others in the K90 million heist at FMB Livingstone Tower Branch, Blantyre in December last year.
Deputy National Police Public Relations Officer, Nicholas Gondwa said Malunga was rushed to QECH on Sunday after complaining of Pneumonia.
”We are yet to get postmortem results, but prison officers handed him to us on Sunday after noting his condition,” explained Gondwa.
According to Gondwa, Malunga was expected to be in court Monday June 15, 2015 to answer to the charge of giving wrong information to law-enforcers.
Gondwe said: ” He claimed that he was a South African citizen, and his passport indicates that his name is Peter Douboneise while facts are that he is Perekani Malunga”.
Malunga was arrested after being identified by the FMB bank’s CCTV footage and one of the police officers who was shot during the robbery but survived.
Malunga was branded as a well known criminal by the Malawi Police.
He was identified on CCTV footage as he unlocked handcuffs from the shot police officers.
Reports suggests that the two officers were shot after they recognised Malunga among the armed thugs.
And, the guns and handicuffs used in the robbery are said to belong to Malawi Police.

They should not die before revealing their friends and bosses. Why are they dying before taken to court? A Polisi pano ndiye mwawonjeza. We are suffering yet the real robbers are these men in uniform. You steal from the roads during the day and with guns during the night.

Tione thupi lake sometimes MPS shouldn’t be trusted 100%, 100 mill ndi yambiri.
But did you get more information from him. We dont want hear the silly song of we are investigating or investigations are underway. You had him for weeks or months. You must have full information of other robbers. We are a small territorially country, get off your chairs and hunt for armed robbers.

Let me register my heartfelt congratulations to our Police for eliminating this menace.
Mudzingowathilila cement Ku chakudya daily mpaka adzifa okha.
Proud of you guys.
It is very sad ,God wants such people to repent before they died
It true that justice in our courts never happens. Possibly this may change something.
Yes Malawi police masengo mukuwa gwila
What will it profit a Man to Gain the whole world and Loose his only Soul..SELAH
Tit for tat. Police versus robbers.
No mercy at all!!
Sorry for the loss, Brandina.
kodi ma man azikodhuwa asanalowe mu court? wina ndiye uja “anadumpha” mu galimoto akupita ku court. ife we want to hear what these people have to say.
Thats the way to eleminate them since justice is not done in courts
Mwamutsinatsina atleast Ku lilongwe mwaphako 4 ndi ameneyu ngati 5 atleast achepe ndithu
Should have waited for earthly justice,at least.
May his soul not rest in peace.
Amen
Next. Let them go one by one.
Gehana
Good riddance
Very sad indeed.
GOOD!!
