Murdered man found in Area 23 Lilongwe

Area 23 residents in the city of Lilongwe, Monday morning, woke up to a shocking experience when they found an unidentified dead man laying in one of the streets in the location.

Kawale Police, under which Area 23 falls, refused to comment on the incident referring the reporter to Lilongwe Police publicist, Kingsley Dandaula.

When contacted, Dandaula said he did not have any details of the matter yet.

Area 23 residents, who were on the scene, speculated that the victim was apparently killed elsewhere but the killers simply wanted to conceal their identities by dumping the body in Area 23.

The unknown body had wounds on the sides in the chest and abdomen seemingly having been stabbed by his assailants whose motive was not yet known.

Police have since collected the body from area 23 to Kamuzu Central Hospital for postmortem. – LINA
