The report also states that police violated Lule’s right to life when they tortured him to death from the time Lule left the court on 20th February and the eport has named eight police officers who handled Lule who include Assistant Commissioner of Police Evalista Chisale who was among those who interrogated the victim at Police Headquarters on 19th February 2019.
MHRC in its report has recommended that the Inspector General of Police should institute criminal investigations into all Police officers who handled Lule between the 19th and 20 February, including Chisale, who is wife to presidential security aide Norman Paulos Chisale.
The other Officers are said to be Inspector Ronad Kapesa who is station criminal investigations officer for Dedza police and Inspectro Mervin Gama of C Division.
The report also recommends that the Director of Public Prosecutions should start criminal proceedings against all the police officers mentioned in the report who had direct contact with Lule.

Who mentioned buleya to be the masterminder? Ask that person to shed more light. Bwanji sanatchule ine.
Buleya wakhala mgelo lero kuti anafa ali ku police. Kodi mwana wosowayo zili pati pano? Makolo ake alandilapo compensation ngati mmene apangile abale ake a lule? Popeza onsewa ndi anthu
Some idiot will tell you about the provisions in the law! We need lateral thinking.
This Chisale guy is becoming too powerful. Isn’t he the same chap believed to have had a hand in the choice of puppet Chimulirenji as APM’s running mate? Now he’s suspected to be involved in albino murders. Isn’t he just a FRONT for some big fish? Mukusewera ndi Chauta? Zonse ziululika.
Just read Lwara’s albino pupil killing in Luchenza in the runner up to 1994 elections.
Wodwala mutu ndi Kantsire koma mankhwara akukatemera Kadzidzi. Mutu wa Kantsire anatema Kadzidzi
How do you know that he was not a masterminder of abduction to the boy with albinism??.Mukatero mwalandira ndalama agalu amabungwenu tsopano, dziko lachinyengo……Kenako muziti apolisi aja ndiosalakwa munthuyo anafa yekha, sindizimene mwapanga plan.Dziko laukape.
Chonena chandisowa……………. am confused!
POOR BASTARDS must face the law
Our police officers are brutal. I know a lady police officer at Zomba police station, light in complexion and has a beard. Wandevu. he is ruthless. One day she was beating a suspect just a primary school boy wh was being accused of stealing a wristwatch. This lady hit the boy with rula wa chitsulo. and when the boy fell down she was angry saying ukufuna kundisizumila??? she hit her again in the full view of other male police officers and the rest of us who were there to report different crimes.
13 days to go before they are all arrested…boma likupita ili.
If Mutharika knws nothing on this issue he mst command all the suspect to be arrested immediately
chisale, a wife to norman chisale. for sure DPP ikudziwapo kanthu
dpp just pack up and go
Mulungu atichitire chisomo tisinthe bomali zambiri zizawululika zimene zinaphetsa lule buleya
What do you expect when the Commissioners are not criminal investigators? Witch hunting. Period.
ok, we only have few days left to arrest of such police officers…..
We understand that the suspected police officers were recently promoted. Mussa recently told the nation that the promotions was merited for “good performance”. “Good performance” could mean killing of Lule.
Of course, that’s DPP style. Good performance is synonymous to thuggery & looting. That’s why Mchacha was promoted/ appointed cabinet minister. That’s why Ben despite brandishing a fire arm in public and demeaning the modesty of a woman (former 1st lady for that matter, could be Gertrude in future) in public, nothing happens to him. In fact he still coordinates State looting (kumagawa zimatumba za ndalama za campaign to others at state house. No wonder he’s he has become firthy rich within a short time span DPP has been in power.
That’s what DPP is, in a nutshell. Unless one is politically naive or stupid then expect something else.
But who took the boy then.
That where the report remains incomplete
My comments are reversed. Yes ‘REVERSED. Thank you.
His father
These bastards named in the report must be arrested forthwith and let them prove their innocence at the courts. The report is faulted for recommending for another investigation when that has already been done. It should now be the law that should treat these criminals. Let us uphopd rule of law as stipulated in the Chakwera H5.
Are you not concerned with the rights to live of that albino boy? You stupid MHRT confusionists. First give Malawians reports on those behind abductions.
Where is the abducted albino boy? We are spending money on suspects and spending nothing on the missing boy. The police had to squeeze the suspect and now you want to turn against them? What really do we want us malawians? U need answers and that’s exactly what police were trying to get. If buleya was wrongly mentioned as the report says then let’s go back to who so ever mentioned him and let’s squeeze him harder for the right names and he is the one to be charged with ” causing wrongful death of buleya”…tatopa nazo izi..cops keep doing your job mpaka we deal with all these albino murders.
MHRTs please give us answers behind abductions. The police were trying hard to protect albinos. You were accusing them for doing their job. Now you accuse them for doing the job. We do not need you in Malawi.
Zomvetsa chisoni a police aku Malawi judging someone on hearsay.Mkazi wa Chisale ayimitsidwe ntchito upon investigation.Ndipo this woman is evil like her husband.Chilipo akudziwa that’s why she got involved. Banja lokuba la Chisale
SHE SHUD BE SUSPENDED PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS – BANJA LOKUBA AZIONA – PANO NDI PA MALAWI – SHE THOT SHE WAS CLEVER
Are these MHRC Commissioners not confusing themselves in their recommendations? In one recommendation they are asking the police IG to institute investigations against the 7 police officers and in the other they are asking the DPP to start prosecution proceedings against the same police officers. Shouldn’t prosecution wait for investigations?
Isafere mmazilatu.
