Lilongwe man chops wife’s hands, gets vigilante justice
A Lilongwe couple is admitted to Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) after the man allegedly chopped off his wife’s hand following a quarrel, provoking the wrath of the community who beat him up for the act.
Kanengo Police spokesperson Esther Mkwanda confirmed the development and identified the woman as Soflet Kagwa Falawo, 39, from Mkanda Village, Traditional Authority (T/A) Chimutu, Lilongwe and the man as Gilbert Falawo, 40, from Jumpha Village, in the same area.
Mkwanda said the two, who have been married for nearly 20 years, fought over eight sheaths of grass from which the wife wanted to have her share following their separation.
Claimed the police spokesperson: “The two separated two days before the incident happened on the grounds that the man suspected his wife was going out with another man.
“The husband did not want to share the grass; hence, a quarrel ensued which resulted into the man chopping the wife’s left hand. This infuriated the community and they apprehended Falawo and beat him up severely.”
KCH deputy director (Nursing), who is also the facility’s spokesperson, Mabel Chinkhata, confirmed that the two had been admitted to the hospital, but she was yet to gather information about their condition.
Meanwhile, police have condemned the alleged act, advising that domestic gender-based differences should be referred to the police’s victim support units (VSU) for redress.

THIS IMAGE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
POSTED HERE………..THATS MY OPINION………..
That’s inhuman people shuld familiez. Leav lyk dat?Back to the doer not me.
That is the problem of harbouring bitterness. Why should he chop off wife’s hands for a simple reason of sharing bundles of grasses?
Very inhuman, we need to think how can we feel if it happens to us like this.
Amabungwe ioneni nkhaniyi komanso tiudzeni zoona ngati anthuwa amapereka malowolo. Nkhadza zoopsa zambiri zodulana mikono ndi ndikuphana zikuchitika kuno kwathu ku mwera ndi pakati komwe sitimalowola ngakhala kuti ife amuna timatsatira nkadzi komwe kuli kupepera. Ine ndikakwatira kolowoletsa. Izi zandiopsa!!.

Eni mtundu a kuchikazi mob justice akangotuluka mwamunayo
thats very sad news
Achewa mwatani ife timaziwa kuti nkhanza zili ndi alomwe.
When I first watched the movie “Blood Diamonds” I couldn’t believe people would do such a thing to one another. I sort of thought it was an exaggeration until I read more about Sierra Leone, Liberia, Foday Sankoh and Charles Taylor. Little did I know this arm chopping would happen in my own country, not in war time as was the case in Sierra Leone but during peacetime, not by an enemy we don’t know, but by someone we share a bed with. This is the second case we have heard of, and God knows how many cases go unreported.
thats inhuman behavioùr
Cud be satanic coz amafuna kuti mwazi ukhe. Lesson to all couples. Sianani amicably ngati mwatopetsana or go fo deliverance.
Vry bad!!!!!!!!
may the gud lord help this poor mama
nayenso adulidwe
Kungogawawanapo zida basi on top of that the bustard must rot in jail
The other side of love
Crimes of passion. Very sad. God help us. This is a lose-lose outcome. It should not have happened in the first place. Thinking aloud: how did matter come to this extent?
eichi!
Izi ndiye za chamba!! Why hack her like that?? I am a married man and have had lots of arguments with my wife – we have exchanged very bitter words on several occasions and we have twice done a ‘one-on-one’ non-title bout (kugwiranagwirana sort of …hahaha). However, in the midst of all that, we know that we do love each other and now we sit down and laugh over those moments. This is our 15th year in marriage and I would never ever think of chopping off her hands like that olo atandiuza kuti wapeza chibwenzi and she wants to leave me because i just love her so much and I always wish her the best in life. Point is: when you truly love someone, be ready to help him/ her achieve true happiness even if it means leaving you for another person. Osamakhapana chonchi iyayi!!! Zandikhudza kwambiri!!
wa banja tu akayamba zibwezi kunja dziwani kuti pali koperewera kena kake kamene akusakasaka kunjako. Ngati inu muchita nsanje ndi chimenechi ndibwino koposa kungosiyana nonse muli momwe munapezerana. Inu muzanu asasake zomwe akusowa zoona zimenezo? Ngati mwalephera kukwanitsana, siyanani osapwetekana.
Why didn’t the villagers not chop off one of his hands. Wishing the mama quick recovery.
Wachambayo afa ameneyo. Chinzibambo chochititsa manyazi.
Vigilante ikanangomusema nayenso (diso kwa diso). Nanga kungomuwumbuza pamene iye adadula dzanja mzake? Vigilante yapereka chitsanzo chabwino- choyipitsitsa sibwino kubwenzera moyipitsitsanso.
Zovetsa chisoni kwambiri!!! Ma banja ngati awa kawiri kawiri amakhala ongofunirana osati a chikondi cha pasi pa mtima! Munthu oti unamufuna wekha sungamupange zimenezi. Vuto lina lalikulu ndi mabwalo athu a milandu. Amapereka zilango zochepa kwa anthu ankhanza ngati amenewa!!! Adzipatsidwa zilango zokhwima kuti ena aziopa!!!
