Malawi police shot dead K46.4m robbery suspect in Blantyre
Police in Malawi’s commercial capital Blantyre have shot dead a suspect believed to be part of the armed robbers that killed a police officer and robbed K46.4 million from Petroda in Lilongwe last week.
The suspect was shot dead at Kameza Roundabout Monday evening.
The law enforcers were on their way to Lilongwe with two of the suspects who have been caught in the commercial capital, according to National Police spokesperson Rhoda Manjolo.
“When they got at Kameza, the two suspects in the car showed the officers their friends who they claimed were part of the gang that killed a police officer and robbed Petroda.
“As the car stopped, the three suspects started to run away but police chased them and shot one of them. Two of the three are at large,” said Manjolo.
Inside sources also claimed that the suspects were found some property including vehicles believed to have been stolen elsewhere.
“It is believed that all the suspects just travelLed to Lilongwe to carry out their mission, otherwise they all based in Blantyre.
“We will not relent until we get hold of those at large. We will use any available means to trace there whereabouts and brought them to book,” one of the sources.
The criminals, among them ex-Malawi Police Officer, attacked a Petroda minibus and killed a police officer before hibernating with a whooping K46.4 million, sources said.
The criminals also snatched two rifles from the police officers.
However, one of the rifles, a K2C serial number K007376 and five rounds of official ammunitions were recovered.
No. A5517 Sgt. Anthony Mkokho was killed on the scene whereas his partner No. B3060 Constable James Clifford was shot in the head and is admitted to Kamuzu Central Hospital.
The criminals attacked the minibus near Kamuzu Central Hospital Roundabout in the administrative capital.
The armed thugs, using BS 6189 Nissan Tilda Soloon–stolen from Isaland Investment and real registration MJ 7494–unexpectedly blocked the minibus and shot at the security officers.

Rhoda Manjolo and the entire police u MUST be very dull. You stopped the car just to arrest a third suspect in the process you lose two supects, pali nzeru apa? One step forward and two backwards that’s what you are telling us. You are idiots, someone in handcuffs can not run as fast as someone without. Bodza basi!!!!

Put it in the hands of civilians, just show them because we know you have their names but you don’t know how to catch them. Izi ndi zoona kapena ndale tsopano? Wakufayo adzauka tsiku lina ndikuulula chilungamo la 40 likakwana.

Anthu okuti aba kale 47 million angafunenso kukaba in that Sana small shop at Kameza?????????????????
No. 81, you are very wrong. The Police were tipped by one of the employees at the Puma filling station in Kanengo about the impending robbery. He was apparently part of the plan but we don’t know what made him change his mind. He described the vehicle the thieves would come by, the time etc. The Police were waiting for them and when they came and all facts as tipped by the informant were exactly the same, they opened fire. What were the rifles doing in their car if they were innocent and just parked their car at the filling station?
Free advice to the Police: Don’t be a visible targets by wearing your uniforms when guarding premises like filling stations. The robbers will want to deal with you first. Be in civilian clothing and carry pistols as the women police officers in Kanengo were. Yes, the police who shot the bustards in Kanengo were women. Donate your old fashioned rifles to game rangers.
There is no way the 2 crimals in the police car could have spotted the other 3 men they claimed were their accomplices!! No way! What kind of co-incidence is that? I would unnderstand if only 1 was spotted, not 3. Penapake I am questioning the officers at the scene. How could they fail to catch even 1 man out of the 3 so that they could question him to verify the truth? What if they had shot an innocent person? Why does it always happen that whenever thieves have struck some place and policemen plus police guns are implicated, the perpetrators are either shot dead by our Malawi policemen or they are at large?? Something fishy here. Wake up malawians! !
My question is; were they handcafed or not & it shows that they were left alone?
These people are nothing but legal murderers. A bunch of blood thirsty wolves who need to be wipe out from the face of the earth.
ku shooter mpaka matako kutaya zimpwisi..koma apolice amenewa…wel done mps.
once again well done mps and keep it up thats great.u r doing a trimendous job.
athawawo ndi mapolisi osiya ntchito aja, mugwidwabe osadandaula dziko lakuchepelanitu, olo mungodzipha nokha
IWAS THERE AT KAMEZA…THESE THUGS WERE IN A CAR AND STOPED AT KAMEZA PETRODA SANA SHOP AND ONE CAME OUT OF THE CAR,INSTANTENOUSLY A POLICE VEHICLE APPEARED AND THE ROBERS DROVE OFF LEAVING THEIR COLLEAGUE WHO TRIED TO ESCAPE ON FOOT AND WAS SHOT,HE WAS ALIVE THE TIME HE WAS BEING TAKEN TO QECH….THATS WHAT WE SAW AND THATS HOW IT HAPPENED.WE DNT KNOW WHAT THESE GUYS WERE UP TO AND INDEED IF THE POLICE WERE ON THEIR WAY TO LILONGWE OR PTHE COPS WERE AGEN PLAYING THEIR HIDE AND SEEK GAME!
So if u r a luk alike with a wanted thug, u r most likely going to die in Malawi. If ur car runs out of fuel, ask someone else to buy it for u if u dont want to die- a few days ago, police killed people in a car in Lilongwe simply because they parked at the filling station longer than necessary. Dont jog next to a filling station bcoz u will be mistaken for a runaway thief. Just as i was scared living in Malawi4 yrs ago, i feel the same today. God help Malawi.
Please show the faces of the escapees on TV. This will yield the desired results.
The unproffesional police who can not shoot to catch but shoot to kill. Is it retariation or justice? What if those caught gangs just decided to implicate the other guys?
Kkkkkkkk aphedwe basiiiiii
Job well done
~Atupele Muluzi at work~
wakuba aphedwe chifukwa amafuna kuba kupha ndikuononga. onse aziphedwa bob justice ikhaleponso chifukwa apolice ndi ochepa sangafikire paliponse. amalawi tiyeni tigwirane manja popha mbava zonse. Congrats MPS. I salute You.
Malawi beware innocent souls would be lost. How can u shoot to kill an armed suspect. How did u plan ur ambush that out of 3 u didn’t even catch any. How did u apply ur tactics in approaching them and how were your target. How sure r u that indeed this man was in the gang of thugs. The fact that they were running away does not mean that they were connected to this issue. I understand when u shot an armed person but here now am scared. We r not the best judges. The hand clappers beware one day u ll be catch by an astray bullet kunena kwake nkomweku was one of the robbers.
Loading…
Can someone tell me why the pictures of these thugs are not posted by the Police on TV / Newspapers / Social Networks as wanted people. Many countries do this we should emulate the same.
But why running away, guilty conscious.
A Malawi anzanga amene mukuwombela mmanja kuti apolisi akuchita bwino kupha zigawenga zimene zili mmanja mwa apolisiwo. Aaah, koma simukuwonapo zodabwisa apa? Inu, anthu oti anali mu unyolo, anathawa bwanji? Ngakhale Malunga wafera kundende, sizikukudabwisani?
Kill them
The `SUSPECTS’ walking together. What a coincidence! The dead don’t talk. Suppose our trigger happy goons point a gun at ‘innocent you’ and u decide to scram because knowing for sure they will shoot to kill. What happens. Dead as a Dodo.
Nice job guys
well done
Do not relent. Kudos to our men in uniform. Flush them out and sort them out. Akutisowetsa mtendere amenewa.
Lets be honest, the police didn’t have a wise plan to catch the three, i believe they woukd have done better…catching all of them
One key observation is that on every armed robbery there is either a police officer, ex-police officer or someone related to a police officer! The MPS need to relook at its recruitment process otherwise it will continue to be a training ground for criminals…..
Shoot to kill works!
Once gain, MPS, well done. This is intelligence and vigilance at its best. What did these think they were. This is a tiny country, where would they hide. LOOK FORWARD TO THE MPS CATCHING UP WITH THE TWO RUN AWAYS. CONGRTS.
Captain sumanva chingelezi kodi? tawerenga bwinobwino, unva, Awiri anali m’galimoto atafika pa Kameza, anawonetsedwa anzawo atatu. Mwa atatuwo mmodzi anawomberedwa awiri athawa.
I now love you our police men. Kill all these animals. They are unwanted here in Malawi.
Anthunu Nkhaniyi simukuimvetsa. Akuti zigawenga zomwe zinali mgalimotoyo zimalozera apolisi Kuti anzathu omwe timabwela limodzi awo!!!!!! anali pa filling station pa Kameza. Athuwa anali atatu ndiye apolisi anayamba kuwathamangitsa potero anakwanitsa kupha chigawenga chimodzi koma zina zwirizo zathawa. Koma omwe anali mgalimoto akafika nawo ku Lilongwe sikuti athawa.
Ine ndiye ndinachekera,chipolopolo sichingalowe,komanso andilemba dzulo ntchito kupolisi mbava zonse ziri m’madzi.
Why shoot to kill seems to be the solution.
While some sectors will praise this shoot to kill system but my opinion says lets resort to a real system that will capture them including the masterminders and sentence them to life in prisonment.
In South Africa shoot to kill is also a must where necessary but we can’t say crime rate is zero, its still high.
Lets find a better solution before other innocent souls lost their life in a mistaken identity or stray bullet.
Dailysun.officers should be investigated. When transporting dangerous climinals they must be chained. Yes there is someone behind this, trueth will be revealed.mwataya mbava chifukwa choona suspect. Kkk
Captain ndi Gutepo osamawelenga mwa phuma, the
article says the two handcuffed suspect in the car showed the police their three friends at Kameza and police stopped the car and gave a chase the three one was shot and two disappeared in thin air not those two in the car.chizungu kikiki
HEEY U PEOPLE,PLEASE UNDERSTAND palibe wanena kuti the two suspects in the car have escaped.it was three suspects on the ground who were being chased and one was gunned down
Kumamva nkhani. Three of the suspects were walking at Kameza. One was shot, two escaped. Presumably the two in the car were still there.
Kungoti journalist mwina sanalembe bwino..
oyenda ndi lupanga.kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
So thugs were being transported without being handcuffed?. Impossible. The Police has to explain.
It shows u ppo don’t read the story with conscious otherwise its precisely presented. In other interpretation; it says, the Police were travelling from BT to LL with two handcuffed suspects in there vehicle. When they approached at Kameza another motor vehicle overtook and blocked the Police vehicle with the aim of ambushing them to rescue the suspects. Now the handcuffed suspects identified the vehicle (one overtaking) to be their friends who also took part in the Petroda saga. One of the handcuffed suspects told the Police that the ones in the vehicle( which was overtaking the Police vehicle) are also criminals, now they started shooting at the Police with the to rescue the handcuffed suspects. Now the Police started backfiring those suspects while the handcuffed one are still under there custody. The criminals as they accepted the defeat some of them came out from the vehicle and started running away in the process one of them was shot down. The causative is that, these criminals in the civilian vehicle wanted to attack the Police and rescue their friends who were under escort of Police from BT to LL. I think this is now clear.
I think here its a failure of the reporter to express the story well.He needs to express well,which group of the suspects started running away when the police car stopped?Is it that group that’s already with them (police) or the other that was indicated by the three in the car?
Kkkkkkk shoot to kill
Tsiku lina adzakhala atakuwomberani inu kapenam’bale wanu koma musali akuba,polengeza azidzati apolice apha chigawenga. Kodi inu simunavepo za mistaken identity? Alipo anthu ambili omwe anagwidwa powaganizila kuti ndi akuba koma asali akuba. Ena ndikunena pano akuseva ndende nkhani zosawakhudza. Apolisi ambiliwa ndi akuba antha kuwombera munthu osalakwa cholinga asokoneze umboni kuti inu muziti anaba uja waphedwa pamene anaba ndi iyeyo ndi anzake.
Kill them before kill you. Let more robbers be killed.
Mmmmm sizikumvekatu izi simukuwona Kuti munapusitsidwa pamenepo poyima? mwinanso anangonena sanali mzawo wapakamezayo
Zoona zake nzakuti this thugs were from Mozambique kunoko amakhala nd mahule ku Machinjiri area 8 nde don’t add lhomwez in this stories
Parade them on TV post their photos in the newspapers then the public will bring u information. Simple
Shoot them One after another.. Nobody Will blame You.Agalu amenewa ndi achiwewe sakufunika pakati pathu
Nkhani simukuyivetsatu apa. Amene anagwidwa sanathawe. But they showed at their three friends . Those friends waphedwa mmodzi and awiri athawa. In summary, awiri agwida, awiri at large, one shot dead. Bravo our police men. Mukuyitha.
Who is the father of their minister?
We need their names please and what type of funeral ceremony do these dead thugs are accorded with their families.If they buried by some people who claims their dead bodies,then they must be having families.Just interested to know the identities of these thugs and their history as they do in other countries.They dig so much about the history of such people and why they have been involved in such heinous crimes all along.what has been the driving factor.poverty or drugs?what is level of their education?Were they religious people or not?
Shame to our police officers.
Amalawi ophunzira free primary education wa ndinomvetsa chisoni. The story is very clear. Police were with two suspects who pointed at their friends and not friend. When the police car stopped the three friends at kameza round about started running away. One of these three was shot dead and two of the three who were at kameza successfully run away
why are you concluding that the two who were in the car escaped? They did not. The two who escaped eere the ones at Kameza
Kkkkk iwe Homeboy (number 32)werenganso nkhani or upeze munthu akumasulire nkhaniyi. Kkkkkkk
Panopa ndiye kuti mbava kukuloza mu street you deserve a bullet without being interrogated.Disabling somebody will let the police to have alot of information from these thieves than killing them instantly since they go with all the information.Anyamata amu bithazi kufuna kushaina ndi ndalama zopangidwa mu Lilongwe.Shame nonse.Mutha ngati makatani.
Those who were in the car r still under police. Understand the sentence, those two from the car showed the police their FRIENDS and out of those shown, one killed two ran away
Sizikumveka athawa ndi amene anali mgalimotowo? Nanga waombeledwa ndi amene anali pa kamezayo? Kodi simunawamange unyolo? Athawa bwanji? Payenda ndalama apa.
Shame ma polisa inu munawatenga zigawenga zosamanga, mwinanso munali pa public transport zandinyasa bwanji kuwafufuza atha kukhala anyamata a masangwi amenewo mutangomva kuti tili m, boma mwaopelatu nkuwataya nkukapha ogulitsa mbatata
Thugs from Lomwe land terrorising Malawi. How far did you chase them. A place like Blantyre you can easily do a lockdown, show seriousness, ruthleseness to these thugs.
nkhani sikunveka iyi. mukuti munawagwira ndiyenso athawa pofuna third person. what crap
Amaliseni anthu okuba amenewa ayamba kuzowera…

Killing suspects can be tricky business, but on the other hand…. if they were innocent i guess they wouldn’t run away right?
Police now will kill innocent souls,it might happen kut mbavazo zinangowanamiza apolice by pointing at innocent ppo!!Zandiopya
You can’t just shoot at someone because of what the thugs have said.you will end up killing innocent people
Not gud
Let the Police continue until the stuation stablise.
Erasing evidence?
Paja mbava zikuluzikulu ndi apolisinu.
Mwina waopsyeza kuchula big man anawatuma?
Alekeni apite kaye ku court. Akuululeni apolisi nonse mukutisowetsa mtendere mdziko muno, nde muziphedwa nonse.
shupit.
Shot to kill ili bwino. Forget about hums right activits sanaberedwepo
Identity of the killed thug plz
Zamumaluwa ife ayi tiuzeni musamangowombelapo chiombe wombe ngati nkhondo ya alomwe. We need full n concrete Info malawi is waiting .
You want the public help u trace those that hav run away yet u conceal the identity of those u hv caught. Parade them on tv. Let them mention their names. This police, eeish!!
Hmmmm. I don’t understand this now. The police had 2 suspects who showed them one of their friends who was conveniently walking around at Kameza round about. In trying to catch that one, they have lost even the two they had.
This just does not make sense:
1) Obviously those in the car had no handcuffs on, for how could they run fast and disappear with handcuffs on.
2) What made the policy think this was not just a decoy – to make them stop, divert attention and run away.
3) If the other person shot dead was someone that was not in the car, its possible the police shot an innocent civilian – never mind that he started running away. People run away from the police all the time and especially from the trigger happy Malawi police.
This whole story just does not make sense. Only Malawians who can believe this rubbish!
Great job continue ife tikagwira tidziwotcha amalizike agalu amenewa .
eya iphani onse agalu amenewa tatopa nawo
Malawi,where r we going
Things are geting out of hand nw, what is happening, is it a small cival war, it was last week the robbers killed a policeman in central region, then 3robbers were killed by police in the north, nw its police again in southern.

Rest in hell fuck you.
Great job malawi Police, hunt them till they are all finished.
One killed ……two have escaped. These guys will truly be caught. The police need to involve the community to get these killers to book. They are surely the right candidates to be hanged.
Yoh! Its becuming another Hillbrow now ? The same Nyasaland which used to be the paradise of southern Africa ..what’s happening !! May our Merciful Lord grant us protection ….
