Kottana Chidyaonga murder case stalls: Family seeks justice 

The murder case involving four suspects  in the intriguing death of a young lady Kottana Chidyaonga has stalled with no  proper schedule for logical conclusion.

The suspects in Kottana’s murder

All the four suspects  were  given  bail by High Court judge Fiona Mwale.

The family of Chidyaonga is seeking justice on the death of Kottana.

The suspects include a local fashion designer Ekaree Daniella Chaweza   – a girl friend to one of the suspect  Gilbert Kalamiza (29).

Other suspects include  former boyfriend of Kottana,  Timothy Mtilisanje (28) and Diana Bhagwanji  (23). They were charged with murder offences.

The suspects, who were with Kotana at the time of her death, claim she died of snake bite but pathologist Charles Dzamalala said she died of poison.

However, Dzamalala’s findings are being challenged by a medical officer hired by the suspects.

However, an associate professor at College of Medicine  Steve Kamiza is challenging the Dzamalala autopsy report in the court after he was engaged by lawyers of one of the suspects in the death of Chidyaonga.

Among others, Kamuza says Dzamalala did not say whether the purported snake wound did not have snake fangs buried inside.

He argues that Dzamalala did not say whether the brought snake had its fangs  on/inside to rule out snake bite.

“That the laboratory tests should not have been deferred due to positive tests of termik substance in the system because positive tests are not uncommon in lab practice,” says Kamiza.

Timothy Mtilisanje hails from Mkungula village in Zomba while Gilbert Kamaliza  and Diana Bhagwanji are from Likoma and Zomba respectively and Diana Bhagwanji are from Likoma and Zomba respectively.

Ignorant, the kids took her to the hospital and she walked in herself. Someone who’s overdosing doesn’t do that. Her mother even spoke to her. And either way the suspects were tested at the Maula clinic and nothing was found in their blood.

Please go back to school. Who the fuck overdoses on weed? Kkkkkkk shut up and go read a book you clown. Would these kids really spend a month in jail if it was drugs or if the story wasn’t true? They would’ve cracked by the 2nd week. If she was did drugs that’s on her. The rest don’t have to pay for her crime.

The deceased’s family are bankrupt and they are trying their best to make a profit off of her death. Shameful.

Nyasa, As relatives of the suspects we are also looking for justice as to why our children were innocently detained. Let the concerned family seek justice from police and the hospital where the deceased went. WE ARE TIRED OF THIS HUMILIATION TO OUR RELATIVES.

The one, its sad that she died koma it doesnt mean kuti the fact that she died innocent people should be wrongly punished and humiliated for a crime they did not commit. No sizimayenda choncho. Zikanakhala kuti nthawi iliyonse munthu wamwalira ena amangidwe olo asanachimwe bwenzi dzikoli liri bwanji? Aloreni a Nambewe adandaule zokhudza abale awo

Ekaree is not a fashion designer, she is a psychologist. Which ever professional body should investigate her. She is a danger to society

This is stupidity of the highest order. She won the 2019 best UMP new fashion designer and yes she is a psychologist. Zakuwawa. Danger to society ndiye kuti chani? Zopepera basi. Amuchite investigate walakwa chani? Do you ever sit down and think what this is doing to these innocent people? you go to hell with your jealousy

Now now now, this is getting too personal. You said she should be investigated? For what if I may ask? Danger to society? Really? So innocent until proven guilty doesnt apply in this case? please think again about your comment. it is so wrong. And yes Ekaree is a fashion designer just as much as she is a professional psychologist. Ukuku ndi kulakwa kwakukulu. This issue is with the judicial system now and it is them to have a final say on this. So leave your personal grudges aside. This young lady is very innocent until proven otherwise

AMalawi, fangs buried in the wound? Which science says that when a snake bite leaves fangs. This is a Malawi belief that when a snake bites it leaves fangs buried and that snake can never bite again. Which science has proven this belief. A Malawi wake up? Ndiye uyu akukhulupirira zimenezi mukuti ndit professor, a medical doctor at college of medicine. I am flabbergasted.
