Malawi cop shoots himself dead: Police station suicide in Mchinji
A 32-year-old police officer in central region border district of Mchinji on Thursday committed suicide while on duty as he shot himself dead leaving a suicide note.
Confirming the development, Mchinji police public relations officer Sub- Inspector Moses Kajawa Nyirenda, identified the deceased as Constable Allan Chione, who was on duty on that particular day but he left his friend where he committed suicide within Mchinji police station premises around 6pm.
“It is with great sadness that I can confirm a self-inflicted gunshot by Chione ended his life,” said Nyirenda.
“Chioni was on duty from 7am to 4pm on Thursday but he didn’t knock off, he stayed at the Police station up to 6pm when he shot himself in the head and died on spot,” said Nyirenda.
Police spokesperson further said Chione left a suicide note which he said they will hand over to the parents of the deceased.
Sub- Inspector Nyirenda however could not divulge the contents of the suicide note but sources say Chioni had family problems.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very difficult time,” said Nyirenda.
The body of late Constable Allan Chione is kept at Mchinji District Hospital.
Late Constable Chione hailed from Mphelele village in the area of traditional authority Nthalire in Chitipa district and was born on 20th January 1983.
Chione joined Malawi police service 7 years ago, he left a wife and two children.
Police are calling on anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal to seek help for counselling.

I wonder why northerners are fond of taking their own lives. Police statistics have it that northerners commit suicides more than any other region and yet the population of northern province is far less compared to those of Centre and South. Can the University of Malawi conduct a research on this matter?
ZOFUNA CHISANKHO CHAKE CHIMENECHO AYENDE BHO!!!!
Koma ndipo,councelling ya ku Malawi is for H.I.V basi,mwapezeka nako limbani mtima,muzidyz za magulu mukhoza kukhala zaka ten,thats what councelling we all know in Malawi.
Oyenda ndi lupanga,azafa ndi lupanga.
Where does one seek help for counselling in Malawi. Zabodza basi??

What is there to investigate he shot himself Apolice umbuli bwanji
satanism attacks. Sanafune koma achita kumpepetula. We shud know God so that the spirit shud direct us cos nowadays demons are everywhere.
Every problem lingakule maka has a solution. Let’s not take our own lives when distressed.
7 years constable? chibalo ntchito? mukuwaonjezatu anawa!
Woyenda ndi lupanga limamuka
ntha ndi lupanga lomwelo.
But where would one get proper counselling in Malawi apart from Religion counselling which at times is biased and condemning??
