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.

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
