Deputy Public Relations Officer for Mzuzu Police, Cecilia Mfune,  said the woman was found whilst wrapped in a blanket inside an unfinished building in the city.

On November 23, 2016, Jere left her home at Hilltop in Masasa area to visit her boyfriend within the same location, but she did not return.

Three days later at around 9:00 in the morning, Jere was found dead  “in a decomposed state.”.

Apparently, the woman was in love relationship with the two suspects Bruce Mtegha, 38 and Edward Nkhoma, 45 and they allegedly they collaborated to kill the woman after they realized she was cheating them.

“Upon questioning them, it was learnt that both suspects were in a relationship with the victim and they killed her for that reason,” said the police spokesperson.

According to the police report, the victim was subjected to physical brawls before leaving her lifeless .

“Deep cuts were observed on the head and the left hand was chopped  off but it was not found at the scene,” said Mfune

A postmortem conducted at Mzuzu Central Hospital indicated that her death was due to severe loss of blood.

Police spokesperson said the suspects are cooperating with the investigations.

Bruce Mtegha hails from Makwakwa Village in the area of Traditional Authority Mpherembe in Mzimba while Edward Nkhoma is from Chikoma Village in the area of Traditional Authority Chulu in Kasungu.

The two will appear before the court of law and answer the charge of murder, contrary to Section 209 of the Penal Code.

  4. simumakwanitsa zofuna zake, ndiye mwamuphanso? Mukanangopeza wachitatu kuti azikuthandizani. Mukanyongedwe basi.

  5. WHY CANT YOU JUST LEAVE HER ALONE GUYS??
    IS SHE YOUR MOTHER ???
    YOU MEAN YOU CANT /COULDNT GET ANOTHER
    LADY APART FROM HER ??
    SO WHAT HAVE YOU GAINED??

    INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR MONEY AND YOUR FUTURE YOU HAVE SPOILED BOTH
    SORRY PLUS REPENT !!

  6. kill them 2 ! by giving then a lot of work to do mudziwalimisa menewo ngati Ng’ombe dziko likusowa chakudya ili. use them pls. they are very stupid iwowo ankaganiza kuti akapha munthu sagwidwa?

  7. IS IT DIFFICULT TO TELL A WOMAN THAT AM LEAVING YOU COZ OF THIS AND THAT ???
    AND GO AHEAD WITH YOUR MORMAL BUSINESS GUYS ??

    IS SHE YOUR MOTHER ??
    STUPIT BOYS !!

  8. This is more reason to think of applying capital punishment on these ruthless dunderheads. How many men sleep with several women that a woman cant do the same? Foolish morons.

  9. It is only the tip of the ice berg! But well done Malawi Police for once – given a bit of hope to hopeless nation. Thanks. May the Soul of Chimwemwe Jere REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.

  10. Let me congratulate the police for managing to bring the culprits to book. However, why is it taking long to bring to book those that murdered bwana wa kubungwe lijali? The suspect who killed Wame has been apprehended, but why not the one(s) who murdered the ACB boss?

  11. The suspects made a serious bad deal. The only way was to leave and ask her to repent her sins. Some men want to own women. Women as humans are not property of the other so they cant be owned. Let them rot in prison for their stupid thinking. One can own anything but not a human soul

  12. Foolish men. Ganging up to kill a ‘lady’? How foolish! Why not just leave her?? Atsekeleni amenewo but azikalimatu ku prison’ko; sangamangokhala kumadikila msonkho wanga kuti ndiziwadyetsa ai. Iyonso ndi mbola ina.
