Malawi Law Society warns against ‘shoot-to-kill’
Malawi Law Society (MLS) has warned the Police against applying the shoot-to-kill mechanism against suspected criminals, saying there is a possibility of it being abused.
MLS though its president John Suzi Banda and secretary Khumbo Soko said although the shoot-to-kill order is legitimate under special circumstances, there is a high likelihood of trigger-happy police officers abusing it, in light of the escalating violent crimes during which some police officers have been killed.
The lawyers’ body noted that in recent weeks several people suspected of criminal wrongdoing have been shot dead by police.
“The Society observes that use of lethal force by the [Police] is regulated by law. Use of firearms is only authorised to enable a member of the [police] apprehend a person who attempts to evade a lawful arrest or who tries to escape from lawful custody. The police can also use lethal force in order to protect themselves and or members of the public from grave and imminent danger,” said MLS in a statement.
The lawyers said use of force in such cases must be “reasonable, appropriate and necessary” and should never be for the wanton desire to kill or maim alone.
MLS reminds the police of the legal instruments that call for the protection of the sanctity of the inherent right to life and the principal of presumption of innocence until a suspect has been found guilty and that the use of firearms ‘shall as far as possible be to disable and not to kill.’”
The Law Society notes with concern the breakdown of security in the country.
“No corner of the country has been spared the wave of violent crime sweeping through the country which appear to be well organised. The Society is saddened that some of the country’s citizens have lost their lives due to these criminal activities,” said MLS statement which also paid tribute to officers of the Malawi Police Service (MPS) who have made the ultimate sacrifice in their fight against crime.
MLS said government should ensure more can be done to improve the working and living conditions of police officers and that the country will put at their disposal the required resources to allow them ably meet their legal mandate of protecting lives and property of Malawians.
The Law Society regrettably notes, however, that there are some elements within the police who are engaged in criminal activities.
“This represents a disgraceful betrayal of the trust that the country places in these officers,” said MLS, stressing that the undesirable elements should be held accountable for their actions.

Go to Kenya you so called Lawyers of Malawi and see how many suspected thiefs and criminals are killed in masses by police day light. Mkuona Kamuzu sadakupatsani mpata amadziwa kuti nanu ndi mbamva. Akabaiba amakupatsani ndalama. Mkuona mufuna luxury life when Malawians are suffering. If I were in government I would give good pecks to Medical Doctors as they go so many years undergraduate and post graduate. Nanunso ma MP athu sumuziona izi pamene mukambirana za Budgetzo……. mufuna akakuomboleni ku court…nanga kamoyo kanuko mmayesa mukadzera ku chipatala?
Apolisi pitilizani kutiteteza otherwise review the part in the supreme Law of the land and let thugs punished there and then
Iwowo sanaberedwepo kapena kulaw Chipolopolo mwina zikadzawafikira adzanena akuba takawaberani anthu amenewa atakaona ubwino wakuberedwa ndikusiyanitsa ndi ufulu wa inu mbava.
Suzi Banda do not protect the rights of thugs at the expenses of ordinary citizens. Malawians are suffering because of these lazy bones. Police must do anything to protect themselves. Had it been that they are shooting armless thugs, we would have recognised your line of thinking.
Unfortunately when these thugs kill policemen you do not hold a meeting with so that they should kill.
Bwinotu akulu, kudako ndi mtima womwe eti.Kodi ndinu mtumbuka eti
Armed robbers they must die akusokoneza chituko cha dziko infact acountry cannot develop chonde apolice dont lesten to human shit kill them

This is not shoot 2 kill, police is just doing its job. When u r in attack, go on a kill. No question about this. Police yomweyo kuti wawawa! MLS thumb down.
Can somebody shoot This lawyer so he can feel it. Dont kill him kust shoot his hands and legs
apolisi pitilizani ntchito yanu musamvere za anthu ngati a Mtambo ndi mbava za ma lawyre izi.Ayambe achita displine mbava zawo izi not to steal and kill.A polisi moyo wanu umakhala pa chiophyezo mukamathangitsa mbava zimenezi, muziphe kumene chiwerengero cha mbava chizichepa.Arresting these armed robbbers will not solve the problem as they become recycled thieves.Those that are caught just get some information from them leading to rounding up their accomplices but kill them also.TATOPA NAZO IFE!
Well written,this is the work of the learned. There’s no bias, all areas of stakeholders have been tackled.The point is contributions of possible solutions to the current problem.
When that police man at FMB was killed or the one at Petroda did you issue a statement asking your clients not to be taking away innocent life’s mr suzie Banda?
If you had any sense or credibility you would have barred that lawyer who beat his wife senselessly the other time and also barred the like of Kasambala and kita from practicing until they have been cleared by the courts from the very serious charges they are facing..
The fact that someone who is facing an attempted murder charge and also facing charges in the biggest theft of public funds in Malawi.is still.allowed.to.practise shows how irrelevant and lacking credibility or moral high ground your organisation is.

Suzi Banda at it again,,,KKK..watch him
MLS is full of bastards. There is no reason why these thugs have to be protected, the people they kill also deserve life, so why should these thugs be protected? I agree with almost all comments made by angry Malawians. You MLS shud read comments by people and the general picture and conclusion is that….Police should exercise “shoot to kill”, no zokambirana. Take note that there is no soft approach to thugs, in countries there a stiffer penalties for such acts. like sharia law, its rare that you hear of thefts, shootings/killings because people may not dare do that nonsense. I dont know, kodi nawonso Laws Society yawo iri ngati yathuyi, kapena ma lawyer ake ali ngati inuyo amu MLS? There should be a very big difference, in shona we say…..muri madhodhi chaiwo!!

Please if u see my brother stealing ppls goods police don’t hasted to kill mi caouse he’s a blood criminal. Forget these called lawyes they have never been robbed at gun point. We r tired
Lawyers wait until these thugs attacks you then come write this bulshiit…
Stupit MLS president wake up from ur sleep my freind.These thugs are dengerous animals.
I think this lawyer is stupid and sanabeledwepo komanso sanaumvepo ululu wachipolopolo, never say this again. A corp is now rotting in Mulanje and u want us to have mercy on them, washupit iwe eti. Akanakhala mkazi wako,mwanawako ,m’balewako ukanamva bwanji
Stupid decision by stupid Banda,its a double loss to have a policeman killed(condolence&profession)than having a criminal killed.
Apheni mbava deserves death fokofuuuu
Nawonso ma lawyer ndi okuba amene , akufuna azizibera mbalazo poziimilira milandu.
ma khoba , tiye nawoni okubawo, tikufuna atheretu.
Now I think I know why MLS is worried about killing of criminals! If the police kill all criminals it means that the courts will have no criminal cases to handle and members of MLS will have less money to make as they will not have business to defend suspects!! The motive behind sentiments by Banda may not be in the interests of the larger good of our society but rather their own selfish and narrow-minded interests.
Sometimes I am tempted to think that education has enslaved some educated Malawians to an extent that they seem to be puppets of a master themselves dont know. We have a society to preserve and this is our ultimate interests and nobody will feel sorry for us when we fail to preserve our own society.
Shoot to kill by the police or thugs. Police has legitimate right to protect themselves from those who want to kill them. Go police and mop up all thugs who think that they can terrorise the society with impunity. The law society should warn all thugs from whom they make a leaving by representing them in court that their time to be masters of destiny is over. The police shall now shoot them on site and we Malawian support that. Only foreign funded fools oppose it under a guise of stupid human rights which Britain is also rejecting.
Suffice to say someone big has given MLS a mouth to vomit these words for the sake of manouvering criminal plans. Any sane person wouldn’t back these people. Policemen are shooting to kill to protect themselves. If they don’t kill first, they will be killed. So the formula is “kill them first so that you can make a safe arrest”
Stupid boy
ALIBE CHONENA BWANAWA AZAWABERE KAYE NDE AZANENE BWINO ZANKUTU
Ruth Warren must be very unpatriotic citzen. Dont criticise police officers for the sake of criticising. Some people did that and stopped instantly. I assume you have never been raped by robbers you are backing today. Do not fight police officers. No one has ever won this battle.
That is the face of a Confused Suzi Banda representing a confused organization that do not know its mandate.
hey talk of those solutions here not just burstout your meaningless concerns here!! Kufuna money basi, how many police officers killed by these criminals this year? What was it that you said here?
zomvetsa chisoni kuti bwana Suzi akunena za malamula mmene a polisi amayenera kugwiritsa ntchito mfuti koma sanakunenapo ndi malo amodzi omwe pamene a polisi anagwiritsa ntchito mfutizi potsutsana ndi malamulowa. Olo kwa America sawombera mwendo kapena mmwamba koma munthu weniweniyo. Tafufuzani bwino bwana Suzi musanalembe nkhani zanu chifukwa zinthu izi sizamkalasi koma pa ground penipeni.
Simunabeledwe po zikadzakuchitikira simudzayakhula bwanji osayakhula wa police ataomberedwa mbuzi
A Suzi mudakali mwana mudzaziona siwayamba kulemera iwe ukumana nazo deserve your unnecessary comments
1we wachamba eti
Ukanakhala kuti apha iweyo ndiye ana ako azivutika muzimuwako ungamve bwa? Tazingodyani ndalamazo osangobwebweta. Apolisi anaphedwa ndi mbava iwe unali chetee! Usankhe chimodzi Kupha wapolisi ndi kupha mbava chabwino ndi chiti? Mukutilengeskana sibweni.
mr curios cat, our police is untrustworthy am afraid its fast becoming a source of criminals every time i hear about recruits graduating i get worried we are increasing number of professional, dangerous and well coordinated criminals, seriously am very worried! I feel safe alone the moment i see a policeman my safety drops to 40% why shld it be like that? Police put ur house in order starting with recruitment process, imagine some female police officers are fast becoming prostitutes that harbour criminals providing them with criminal tactics and materials. its pathetic and unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!! In short engaging with police is nowadays is a death trap koma likubwera tsiku the society will say its enough!!!!!!!
Si onse omwe akuwombeledwawa ali akuba, ena ndiwongoganizilidwa koma sanabepo.
Chizungutu chavuta apa, is there any betrayal of trust that is not disgraceful ? Betrayal of trust is always disgraceful !
its a fact kuti all robberies engaging guns are orchestrasted by a military person on the other hand its becoming worrying that u cán never trust a police man these days coz they are so horrible, unprofessional and too corrupt. wen we report such unprofessional officers nothing happens they even challenge to have connections with higher offices such that they cannot be disciplined, it sucks!!!!!!!!!. The best strategy to end crime líes in the hands of citizens only if we hold hands and unite we can apprehend akubawa be it mbava za police or civilians and once confirmed kuti ndi akuba apply mob justice. Waiting for that day wen wa police shall be caught stealing and burned alive. A police tatopa nanu u ask us to give u money to do a job that ur paid for, our police needs harsh leadership not wat wet hv currently we need police chief who is cruel and ntonsense.This so called shoot to kill is short lived its only reflecting anger after seeing a couple of policemen killed, if it were civilians killed they wud not respond like that, infact security shld be at its peak all yr long not after a heightened spate of attacks. we hv unstrategic police so dull and empty, its simple the more you scale up ur useless patrols, criminals hibernate, then when you relax, they intensify robberies, ur a clueless bunch of self acclaimed policemen, one wonders if ur training is really to protect citizens or make them vulnerable. Iwe wa MLS akuba adzakudule kaye machende thats wen u shall appreciate.
Let the criminals face the trigger!!! Have you ever been robbed by these dangerous criminals? They spare no life if they face anyone blocking their way. Its only when they are not disturbed that they get out of the scene with what they wanted only. The best thing that you could have done bwana Banda was to stay quite.
Mr Banda,you mean a police aziphendwa ndi mbava???kaloweni ntchito ya police kuti musamakaombere mbavazo.
Most criminals are employed by this stupid MLS to boost their resources thats why they are crying. We know that most of the thieves they are agents of the so called Lawyers. It is up to the public to take law in their own hands rather than being killed by mercenaries of MLC. We know how you share the stolen money
Police shoot on intelligence gathered when your relative Suzi will be killed you will not talk against this just shut up
Thieves, please target lawyers so that they also feel the pain we all feel when you terrorise our house.
Kodi mukamva kuti zigawenga zapha munthu zimakusangalatsani? Koma chigawengacho chikaphedwa ndiye kumadandaula? Ayi! Mwina mukudziwapo kanthu.
Yankhulani kuteteza bread wanu, nanga akafa ma criminals onse akulipirani ndani?
Kuyakhula kuti aoneka mu newspaper kapena kuti tiziti amadziwa ntchito yao?
Am failing to understand if the MLS president is saying in good faith. Shame on u.
MLS guys be serious,whether police men or no police officers involvement they shld be killed coz :
akumatipha ndikupanga chipongwe mabanja athu
even akamangidwa,in no time amatulutsidwa pa bail
if one of ur relative has been shot ts becoz of unrully bhavia
sanakubereni kunyumba kwanu akazKuberani ndipamene muzaziwe ubwino wa shoot to kill mukamufunse Madise lawyer nzanu azakuwuzani kugunika kwa police security sitimakamba pagulu ayi
What about theft?
The incidences of robbery rocking the country must be addressed by not one body like MLS reminding police what they are supposed to do. The development in Malawi now is that some bad citizens armed have declared war on good citizens unarmed. MLS, what you should know is that if the good citizens had arms they could also fire back whether to kill or maim. This is war declared on innocent people, thus why the thieves are burnt. The pain these thieves inflict on people and the punishment they get through your laws you champion is not enough. For you it is your duty to say whatever you are employed to do but the pain and suffering caused by the gun touting criminals you call suspects in your law language is very grievance. Corruption in Malawi is the root cause of all this. The Criminal Investigation Department in police appears to be also affected. Other intelligence arms of government are busy focusing their intelligence on issues of less importance to the citizenry. Many Malawians are leaving in great fear because of these armed robbers. MLS, imagine a trained police with a gun is killed without mercy, how will an ordinary person like me feel? MLS you have more work to do than just reminding the police your selective laws that always favor the right to life for the so called suspected criminals as compared to the victims. We are in an internal war which must be analyzed properly by not pointing a finger to one institution. We are suffering especially at night.
Trigger-happy criminals are terrorising innocent Malawians
Mmawatuma etiii aphedwabe bax shoot to kill mooo fireeee
Akadzakubela iweyo ndiye udzaitana wa shoot to kill koma sudzamuona mphwanga.
akungofuna kutchuka awa, tikudziwa kuti mbava zikaphedwa mukusowa owateteza ku khoti as a result mukukanda mukanda simunati. your words mr lawyer brings food to your table we know but the nation suffers because your job now is to protect mbava ndi zigawenga at the expense of national order and development
Zikumadabwisa kuti wakuba Ali ndi mfuti ndi modzi koma kupha onse kuti amaombera mhmmmm amwene futi ndi danger munthu ikangolira kumuuza kuti khalara pansi sangayendeso,kuli bwino kupha watenga chidayo
sso far shoot to kill is the best solution on the land against armed robbery!
Akuti “right to life of the criminal”, iwe ukunena zimenezi u r more stupid than stupidity itself! Akuba anakulowerapo m’nyuuba mkukubera? Anakununkhizapo mfuti akuba iwe? Milandu ikapita ku court, ndi inu nomwenso mumakanama, mkuzitulutsa zigawengazo! You should shut-up your mouth ngati unabadwa kuchokera kwa mzimayi. Kunyasa eti, kagwere uko!
You have never been robbed that’s why you are saying like that. A thief comes fully armed to rob and kill you. If the robbers brandish a lethal weapon to police officers and the general public it means they aim at killing someone to scare away people. Personally am in support of short to kill the dangerous criminals.No going back. Let the robbers hit your home one day and you will never say this again.
Iyi ndi khondo bwanawe. Criminals have better guns Than police, like Ak47. Shooting on the leg is not a solution. Wipe them out. Those who they kill will never come back. Ku Middle East kulibe akuba. Where are human rights there? Zopusa basi. Whip their ass.
It’s not a good practice innocent people may killed in the course of doing their e exercise.
John Suzi Banda and Khumbo Soko, if you alone on this one, stupid morons!!!! If you both are man enough give us your home physical addresses so you know why you shouldn’t be advocating for stupidity. When these beasts come to your house at night, they don’t come for a cup of tea, they come to kill!!…oh, and did I mention raping women too?….how about hacking and maiming innocent people in the house…and having little children traumatized at witnessing reality horror! You want to seem like doing something worth while at the Law Society?…why don’t you start by advocating for more CID training and crime bursting techniques for our cops. In the absence of that, MALAWI says more fire cops!!!!!
Whether the shooting is covering up some high profile figures expose them so that after attacking them they will step down themselves.I have put myself in the shoes of the police and i have been ordered to deal with criminals.The best way to safeguard my life is to shoot and kill so that i gain respect amongst criminals.What are talking about you MLS guys.Law at the expense of life it does work.
DPP IS A PARTY FULL OF THUGS AND THIEVES, NO WONDER MALAWI IS IN THIS SITUATION UNLIKE DURING AMAYI ERA
Iweyo ukukondwa kuti apolisi ndi anthu aziphedwa? Kapena akubawo umawatuma ndiwe? Bwanji mumakamba zinthu ngati munthu opanda mutu. A POLISI IPHANI ALIYENSE AMENE MWAMPEZA NDI CHIDA CHOMWE CHINGATHE KUONONGA MOYO WA WINA MUNJIRA YAKUBA.
Any undertaking by anybody is amenable to abuse, if unchecked. Yes, the government is aware of the potential; but serious crimes require serious actions. Such as now.
The lawyers statements are NOT really revealing anything new. Everyone knows what they have stated.
Are they lawyers on the side of the victimized public, or are they sympathizing with the brutal, violent criminals? Time for sitting on the fence is over: take sides right now. The public is fed up, already.
Suzi wopusa sunankhule ataphedwa a police bwanji udazituma ndiwe mbava eti
Inu a MLS, MFUTI mumaidziwa? Kapena mukuyankhula muli mu office mwanumo mukumwa coffee womwera nthumbwana. Theory tu ndi practical ndizosiyana. Inunso inu amakhothi have betrayed a Malawi. Lamulo ndi umuthu zimuzidziwa. Musatipusitse.

Shoot them straight in the head. These killers have no rights to life.
The guns are taken is RSA.
Shoot to kill technics to end when all dangerous criminals are wiped from the face of Malawi Nation. As long as criminals are there Shoot To Kill shall apply in good measures.
Apolice iphani mbava basi apo biiii adziochedwa, MLS mmene mbava zikuophyera panopa musawaphese a police athu ndizopanda pake munenazi, shoot to kill igwire ntchito asafuna asamukemo muno;)

That is stupidity of highest order on MLS. Instead of you the MLS concentrating on sensitizing criminals not shoot to kill police officers, you are now turning against police officers who are mandated to save lives and properties. It is indeed ridiculous. Malawians are pretty much aware that you MLS led by you stupid Suzi has failed to control your money hungry lawyers who have been and are still swindling millions of peoples money in the name of justice seeking. I thought you Suzi would be busy putting your ruined house in order rather than pinpointing on other entity more precisely the police. That is foolishness. Iam a police officer and i know what it takes when thieves have invaded peoples houses. They spare no body. Women and young girls have been raped in low density areas such as in areas 47,3 and 9 in the full view of their husbands, parents as well as their brothers. Robbers have maimed innocent people. Lucky you are that you have not experienced one. Go and ask lawyer Khonyongwa, Osward Mtupila and Enock Chibwana and others that have experienced, they will tell u. In nutshell, those of you who are protesting against police using lethal force, you doing that out of ignorance and you shall appreciate one day when you have been connered. Let me thank my fellow cops for the job well done by arresting prime suspects that killed our fellow cop in Area 4. However, my only blame to you is that you spared their lives. Lucky they are that i was not in that team that arrested them. Yes iam a trigger happy officer because because i do no entertain stupidity. Stupidity should remain with MLS and their lawyers.
Shot to kill is the only solution in order to reduce armed robbery which has increased in the country
Criminals shoot to kill police officers, i urge all police personell dont listen to this MANYI logic by mls,they are talking from the comfort of their air conditioned offices while policemen face life and death situations everyday. if you dont kill the criminals they will kill you its that simple. Why should presumption of innocense only apply to criminals? The police who shoot to kill should also be presumed innocent. Police should shoot to kill even unarmed criminals to send a clear message to prospective criminals. Why do you think crime is so low in countries which apply sharia law. Fear is the most powerful deterent to crime.
Imakhala 50:50 cause akubawonso amakhala akuombera. Athatswhy shoot to kill yabwera. Amene anapanga lamulo lakuti chigawenga chakupha chili ndi ufulu munthu ameneyo sanabeledwepo ndipo samazione mbava zitalowa nyumba
I understand that they are the suspects who start shooting at our police officers and in this case am unabe to find any wrong on the shoot to kill.
All that hav commented don’t know anything, just shut up!! Why is that people don’t make noise when police are shot dead by these thugs? Don’t they also have human rights as what u preach for the thugs? Is not u the very same people who claim there is security breakdown? Be reasonable don’t just write for the sake of jobs! What did Mtambo and his group say when the police officers were shot dead?
M.L.S. Do something kuti umbava uthee! osatikuchepa!
Kodi umawatuma ndi iwe? Ndakudziwa ife ndiye tishooter mpaka kumpha we don’t want these stupid people to roam and coz ploblems in this world of ours,we will root them out..if not by the police ndiye tizingowa burner…

Suzi mutu wako ok…may you be forgiven for you do not know what you are saying. Why do robbers or thugs kill innocent people why cant you advise thugs only to steal but not kill….until you or your loved ones face the wrath of these killers suzayakhulanso zopusa zakozi..please Mr lawyer DO NOT OBSTRUCT JUSTICE
ndiwe chitsiru nsuzi wanva…..i think sunayambepo wabeledwa…mxiiii!!!!
Mukapitiliza kuba ndi mfuti tikuphani ndithu musakayike ,iwe Suzi mapazi ako sunaberedwe etii

Police do that because it is part of their defence as thieves get fully prepared.They have to maintain shoot to kill.Banda John ,you are playing with life. You will learn when one of your relative is killed by thugs.
iwe suzi waiwala pakati apa anapanga target inuyo kaya mumati amalamulo! dikila kaye akakupeza ndikukwela nkazi wako ukuona kenako ana ndi abale ako uzanena za shoot to kill
Mr Suzi, kodi mudaberedwako pakhomo panupo? Akadzakuberani komanso akadzagona ndi akazi anu mukuona ndipamene mudzasiye kulankhula zimene mukunenazi. Munthu wakubayo amabwera okonzeka and can even kill as well, so Bravo the Police, these thieves must be killed, no mercy here !!!
You are saying this because you are ignorant of the danger involved when dealing with an armed thug!! You want these thugs to kill the police? Mungodikira akadzabwera kwanu akubawa its when you will see why shoot to kill is applied
Shoot to kill mechanism is dangerous to our democracy. May be shoot-tp-cripple is much better
Suzi ndi Soko samalani. Simunakumanebu ndi ndi dzimbalangondo zoterezi. Amakuchindira mkazi ndi anako ukuwona! Ndye mukuti chiyani? Tiye nazoni, la fote lanu silinakwane, mudzaona polekera!

Do we have any professional bodies in Malawi? Last time I checked ECAMA was infested with the Nyakula party loyalists like the Kachajes of this world and so is Malawi Law Society. MLS side with the criminals? I didn’t believe when some people said the security breakdown in our country is a plot by fraustrated politicians to test the waters until I read this article plus the arrest of former president’s close relatives in connection to robbery that took the life of our policeman and left another critically wounded. What a shame!
Iwe Suzi, ma criminals wo aphe abale ako ndiye udziwa ubwino wake wa shoot to kill. Bring a solution to the crime in Malawi. Osamangoyakhula for the sake of pay checks.
Nthawi zina these police kill suspects to cover some marks kuti ziwululika zambiri.They must be some high profile people or police involved in these cases.We have never been told the source of where the armed robbers get their fire arms.Sometimes we have heard the police involved in armed robberies but known the end results of their cases instead of shooting them like what they do to others.Please disable them by shooting them on legs so that we can have alot of information from them when caught.
