Mob kills mentally challenged person in Phalombe
An angry mob in Chiringa in Phalombe district on Wednesday assaulted a mentally challenged person who later died while receiving medical attention.
The deceased has been identified as Boniface Palapasa, 51, from Phodogoma village, T/A Nazombe in the district.
According to police, an angry mob attacked Palapasa after he had grievously injured another person with a stone.
”The incident angered people around the area. They then mobilised themselves and pounced on Palapasa until members of community policing intervened,” explained Phalombe police Publicist, Augustus Nkhwazi.
Alarmed by the condition of Palapasa, law-enforcers rushed him to Chiringa Parish Hospital where he died while receiving treatment.
Post-mortem results indicate that Palapasa died due to severe tissue injury as he was heavily assaulted.
Meanwhile, Fyson Mulunguzi who was stoned by the deceased was treated as an outpatient.
Police have since instituted investigations into the matter.

Ndamva chisoni, wamisala alibe nzeru zabwino iye ndiwodwala, ndipo matenda ambiri mankhwala siagwira, kaya nkutani. Kuzomba amakabwerako osachila.
These mad people they sometimes overbehave. We also have one lunatic mad man here at nkhatabay boma who time without number stone, thumb and kick innocent citizens especiary women. l fully hope he wl be the next victim. These violent madmen are those polobonic victims of marijuana. They puffed or ate more than their brains could accommodate. Viva phalombe guys! n6
Ooooh shame bwanji otsakhala ngati mwanache wamisala otsagenda kkkkkkkk
The Police ought to take such people to proper facilities. In Kasungu, just this Monday at Lisasadzi, a mentally ill person who has been perpetually released by Police back into society broke a front windscreen of a minibus full of passengers & damaged another vehicle. Thanks there were no injuries. The Police are to blame!
Shame.
