Malawi Police in Dedza Monday morning shot dead two armed robbers for trying to hijack a car and third suspect is battling for his life at Dedza District Hospital.

Shoot-to kill: Suspsects fatally shot
Shoot-to kill: Suspsects fatally shot

According to Nyasa Times sources, the syndicate involves some police officers.

Dedza Police publicist Edward Kabango confirmed the development saying they opened fire because the criminals were not complying with their orders.

“It’s true that two criminals have been shot dead for trying to hijack a car,” said Kabango. “The third one was seriously wounded and has since been hospitalized.”

He said they had not yet established the criminals’ identities.

But Kabango, who said they had recovered a passport of one of three in the operation, assured the public that they would have established the identities by end of business Monday.

The publicist also brushed aside speculations that some police officers were behind the ordeal. But he said they would investigate the matter further to establish the validity of such allegations.

“Police officers have broken the law before,” he said. “And if some were involved in this syndicate, then they will be brought to book.”

Stop being arrogant Malawians an start being social……. an your chichiwa is not even up to scratch but you judge others………..Felix SA

  12. Well done Police! Checking vehicle licences and and Insurance tags only on the roads will not clear off these guys. IG should Invest more in eliminating these carjackers and those terrorizing and breaking homes in suburbs. Hats off to Police!

  18. Koma inali mfuti yanji kwenikweni? short gun? chifukwa nde yamugamphula, anwae he died on duty(bullet trigger kill a nigger he’s a heroe)Tupac

  19. mumafuna apolisi atani, mwagwira ntchito yabwino ngati ali abale anu akubawa mukhaula kalireni maliro oseketsawa

  20. The one facing this side seems to be Don Chiziwa a guy who lobbed Ecobank at Crossroads last June. He was stealing money from customers accounts going to witchdoctors to multiply the same. When he got fired he started doing this. His wife Wezzie nee Kachali is a Clerk at FMB Crossroads and they live near Sungwi at Area 25. They belong to St. Francis Catholic Church. Sure he is the one.

  23. mmmmmmm mbava kumazitero kumene but if z TRUE kt a police officer was involved mmmmmm thats vry shame to our men in uniform

  26. U can;t understand but Police must be Proffessional in whatever they do. Corrupt… Inamanga madziko osauka sathandizidwa poyelekeza ndi olemera Mulungu azayankha.

  27. Ofunika kumaliza kuotcha ndi petro kuti askhalenso ndi manda good job more patrols ife w will cooperate mmalokeshonimu.

  29. Walupanga azafa ndilupanga.Analyse my comment and its food for thought only to the wise

  30. Apolice alibe chilolezo choombela akuba popamba chifukwa chenicheni,iwowo ayenela agwire ndende ndikukayankha mulandu wakupha..Nangati zilichomcho naneso ndidzapha wanga wa police mukhale tchelu,

  31. Some of these thieves have been caught using police guns in some instances.Policemen and watchmen have been conniving with these thieves.People have lost their fortune trusting these crooked watchmen and some twisted policemen.
    The idea of shooting these lowlife is not bad because many of them are so evil that they not only come to steal your property but come come kill and rape the same time.We shed no any tear for these thieves.This is going to give a strong warning to would be thieves.Even the cashgate thieves should have been meted the same punishment.Alot people died in hospitals because of lack of drugs from stealing from the public purse meant for health.Well done Police.You need to be promoted.Keep blowing their brains even your friends who are assisting these thieves.

  36. My truck was hijacked 10 years ago. Afterwards the thieves were caught. The time they were caught they had already sold the vehicle at Nampula in Mozambique. They were taken to Blantyre Magistrate court and I was asked to to stand in court to claim that the vehicle belonged to me. I was then asked to go out and that when judgement is passed I will be informed. The thieves offered to take the police to Nampula to show them where they sold the vehicle. I have been asking the police about it but they have no answers. I do not know whether they got the truck back to Malawi. I do not know the sentence that was given to these people. Do I not deserve to know what was the final outcome of my complaint was?

    1. please for Gods sake help this man to know the whereabout of his truck and to recover it.
      he should also know the punishment that was given to the robers

  44. Well done police, when you know their identity, go and shoot their wives too! They are all the same. By the way, please finish off the one in Dedza hospital, he should not finish our Asprin tablets.

  48. Finish the other one no mercy.you want our nurses should waste time on that one.dressing his wounds?

  51. U began with one person early last month at Kapenga in Limbe and today in Dedza. Don’t think that shoot to kill will bring the malpractice to an end! This will at the end comr to be a one man’s battle by the end of the day. Whether we like it or not again whether we accept or not ….the idea is that police officers are people and they need socio-contact and association as any other social being!!…this way of approach has to be checked out before it turns to an eleventh hour to someone….same Malawi!!!

  52. Comment bang bang bang! Thats gentlemen. shoot them all. tisagule katundu wotinjoyetsa? Asaaaaaaaa! amatuleni tikaataye mu soil. mxiew!

  53. Gud job, police wonjezaniso moto mu mzinda wathu wa blantyre. Muzingopheratu kuti asationongere dziko lathuli. Viva dpp govt for putting strong security measures across the country.

  55. Aha,apo timati bullet!! bullet!!,akanganya amenewa ayenera kulandira Bullet bax asa ine ndivutike kupanga money ndigule car bax iwo azangotola ngat Mango bax.alas..Mwayi satola Galimoto…Winawe ngat uli mmodzi mwaiwo dikila tsikulina nawenso..Bullet!! bullet!!

  59. Job well done Dedza Police. Apolisi enanu mutengeleko phunziro, agalu amenewa aphedwedwe basi.

  61. Comment Welldone but why did the court grant bail to the other police officer involved in the bank robbery??? many criminals are left cost free by the courts. this must stop.

  64. Zikadamatero bwezi zikukoma. Ife ku mchinji tidatha 2month tikugona kutchire ngati pogona tilibe. Court lero! Aaa kaya. Chinyengo basi. Mpatawo mutipatseko tithandizane kunyonga nyama zimenezi.

  67. Ndiye mwati panalibepo wa polisi pakati pa mbavapo? Kapena tidziwa mawa kuti mwina mmodzi mwa iwo ndiwapolisi kapena mamuna wawapolisi mwina wa kuMzuzu kapena ku Mulanje.

  70. You will always have my support on this type of killings Malawi police, not when you kill demonstarting students

  71. Mr Inspector General. Please rotate these police officers. Those in MZ must be sent to LL.

  88. Ali boo apolice’wo. Chonde akwezeni amene agwira ntchito yotamandikayo. Ena amawopa kugwira chonchi ntchito.

  90. Should they not have been captured for much needed intorogation. If it is suspected that there is poilice involvement, then should we not worry about a possible assassination aimed at coverup?

  100. Well done guys, continue with the good job of eliminating these notorious thugs. Kill more and more.

  106. Ladies and gentlemen we need more info here, where is the vehicle they wanted. to steal? We cannot allow the police to b shooting suspects! Just bcoz they got a tip that these people were planning to hijacking a vehicle does not give the Police the right to kill them in cold blood!

  112. Limbe police; have you heard this? For you it takes a century to recover stolen car, worsestill, that is roaming within Btz streets. Shame!

  117. The story as of now is too sketchy.Tell us more on it or don’t publish a story before journalistic investigations are over.Ngati ndi akubadi,bravo DZ Police akubawa aonjeeza pano ndi mmidzi momwee eeti!

  118. Deserved death for stupid thieves. Please ask these officers to do the same with cashgaters. What is the difference to shoot a car hijacker and a cashgater. Izi nzo fanana abale. Polisi gwirani ntchito tizigona tulo. May their soul rest with dyabulosi

  121. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB BY RELOCATING THESE UNWANTED ANIMALS FROM THE LAND OF MALAWI TO THE HELL. HOW I WISH WE HAD CHANCE TO GIVE A TOKEN OF APPRECIATION TO THESE PATRIOTIC POLICE OFFICERS. I AM READY TO CONTRIBUTE SOME MONEY TO REWARD THEM.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH OUR POLICE OFFICERS FOR THIS GOOD JOB. MAKE SURE THAT YOU RELOCATE ALL THESE UNWANTED ANIMALS FROM THE LAND OF MALAWI IF POSSIBLE TO HELL IN ORDER FOR CITIZENS OF MALAWI TO ENJOY THE FRUIT OF THEIR LABOR WITHOUT FEAR.

  125. Proffessional people in uniform..congrats. Chiyambi cholemera ndi kupha mbava zonse. This will send strong signal to all would be armed robbers that their time is over. Keep up killing these lazy dunderheads

  127. Shoot to kill shouldn’t be a policy that our police personnel should be waiting for, just shoot and kill all armed robbers at sight and save our motherland. I think even rapists, abductors, habitual petty thieves we should also do away with them, who will really cry for them? Shoot shoot shoot no mercy to the hoodlums.

  132. Athotholeni. Tizigwira ntchito iwo kungotenga galiimoto, timavutika kupanga ma plan, wosadyabwino iyo kungotenga.

  134. Why should you tell a story that hangs in the air? Whose vehicle was it and what were the circumstances of the carjack?

  137. ASAAAAA..THIS IS A HALF BAKED STORY,NYASA. ARMED ROBBERS? DID THEY USE PANGAS OR GUNS? IF YOU MANAGED TO TAKE PICTURES OF DEAD PEOPLE, IT WAS EASIER TO OBTAIN PICTURES OF THE GUNS AND AND THE VEHICLE AS WELL. HOW ABOUT THE STORY OF THE HIJACK VICTIM? VERY BASIC INDEED! IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS BASIC INFORMATION, I REFRAIN FROM PRAISING THE POLICE, BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TRIGGER HAPPY THESE CONSTABLES CAN BE!

  140. U mean alakwisa kuika zithunzi? indeed they have siblings but……. even these siblings of them, they do hide them. armed robbery is another issue Brother, kapena2…………………..

  141. Well done, but we need some details on what really transpired at the time. Information is so scanty.

  146. KODI SHOOT TO KILL YABWERERANSO.INU ATIMABUNGWE TISAKUMVENI MUKUFUNA KUONEKA NGATI ABWINO.MAY THEIR SOUL REST IN HELL

    1. Ife amabunge sitingaleke kuonerela kumangophana choncho,komaso sikuti tikuteteza kuphedwa kwa mbava zokha ayi kukulu kwenikweni ndikumenyeraso mmalawi aliyese .zikomo

  147. Award these policemen pls who hv done the good job. Other policemen receive bribes and help criminals to escape. These are true sons of Malawi that need the support, promotions and even some monetary support from a caring government like this one of APM. Bravo guys

  148. Koma abale, kufa chifukwa chofuna ndalama zamsanga, osangogwira ganyu bwanji, maliro osayembekezerekatu awa. Mabvuto a dziko lapansi. Mukabvuula mchenga bwenzi izi kulibepepani olira

  155. we are all thieves koma zinazi mumaziyamba dala.what a sad ending. please,let this be a lesson to you armed robbers.

  156. Hahahahahahahahaha Bravo Malawi Police. Keep on the good work!!!!! anthu amenewa ntchito yao ndikupha akudana ndiizi sanaone mavuto amene mbavazi zimabwelesa mu moyo wamunthu.

  159. Nyasatimes, we needed the story not the pictures. We can hear you loud and clear without you leaving dents o f graphic pictures that show up just before lunch and eventually erode our appetites. These are real thugs and they deserve to be eliminated this way …. I wouldn’t be talking about justice – it never works these days save by the barrel like this. But the suckers have moms, dads, brothers and cousins. I am just wondering the reaction their siblings will exhume

  166. Well done MPS and congrats to the valliant cop who pulled the trigger. All these Bloodsuckers need to be eliminated.
