Ntaba calls pathologist Dzamalala over Buleya Lule autopsy report
Presidential committee on protection of people with albinism chairperson Hetherwick Ntaba said he has called independent pathologist Charles Dzamalala to furnish the State with forensic autopsy report which shows Buleya Lule, a suspect in the abduction of a boy with albinism, died from electrocution.
Ntaba said Dzamalala did not officially give the autopsy report to the government, including the police, saying this is why the law enforcers could not arrest any police officer in connection with the killing of Lule in police custody.
“I called Dr. Dzamalala yesterday to find out about the autopsy report. He said he is outside the country but he would arrange with his office so that they bring it to us,” said Ntaba.
However, Ntaba said Dzamalala informed him he had already given the report to the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) and the Association of Persons with Albinism in Malawi (APAM).
Ntaba was speaking in a radio program last evening along with APAM president Overstone Kondowe and Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP) national coordinator Boniface Chibwana.
But Kondowe wondered why the police could not demand a copy of the autopsy report from MHRC, a government organization, saying the police was just playing delaying tactics.
“We have lost trust in the police. This is why we are demanding that the police should not investigate itself. They cannot investigate themselves, they are compromised.
Somebody is killed in police custody; do you need to wait for an autopsy report? Do all the murder cases wait for autopsy reports before the suspects are arrested? Something is not adding up somewhere,” said Kondowe.
Chibwana told the police to arrest all those police officers who were with Lule as well as those who were on duty on the day he was killed, saying the issue of the autopsy report should not be an excuse.
He said CCJP will not sit back until all the police murder suspects are arrested and faced justice over the murder of Lule, a key suspect in the murder of 12-year-old Goodson Makanjira of Dedza who was expected to reveal the market for the bones of people with albinism.
Minister for Homeland Security Nicholas Dausi said in a separate interview he would not comment on the matter as he, too, was yet to see the autopsy report.
Police arrested six men in connection with the abduction of the teenage boy and have since charged them with abducting to murder contrary to Section 261 of the Penal Code and unlawful wounding contrary Section 24 of the Penal Code.
The six, including the deceased, are Kumbilani Patson, 51, (1st accused), 2nd accused Sainani Kalekeni, 44, 3rd accused Lukas Kagomo, 36, 4th accused Katiya Mizeck, 42, 5th accused Buleya Lule, 44, and Wiskes Gana, 58, the 6th accused.
Buleya pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied accusations by Patson and Kalekeni that he knew the market for persons with albinism and that they gave him the boy alive.

Cholinga mumuthuphye thuphye Dzamalalayi, mukunama mafana
Dzamalala ndi olimba mtima ngati momwe analili Nyakwawa usiwausiwa. They stand on the truth
How can Ntaba be on presidential committee when he is one of the suspects in the albino killings? No wonder there are these deliberate delays in the probe of Buleyas death. The issue is very clear here, the government concealed information by killing Buleya.
No doubt Mutharika, Ntaba , Dausi and I.G of police they knw beta than us why Buleya was killed in police custody, the man ABOVE is watching you maliseche ndi wonse womwe wakhala ukuwatuma
What I know is that the truth shall be known soon, olo mutanamizira kuti report simunaone. There is God in heaven our righteous judge, who cannot be bribed. You may bribe the commisioners, the police, the religious leaders, politicians etc but not our creator. Therefore lets allow God to intervene . Dr Ntaba whatever you are telling us as a nation you are supposed to know that one day we will all stand before God whether its the president, his advisers, ministers, commissioners, citizens like myself so we must tell each other the truth. We may want to protect our positions but we are also suppose to know that its God who gives that grace of leading and you cannot shed blood and go to the same God asking for grace mmmm zosatheka
The police who were ordered to murdered Buleya must be careful, they could be silenced themselves
Even a baby will know, DPp government is involved in this albino saga
Trying to justify his existence and relevance in DPP, our Ntaba.
Mr Ntaba ku church mumatichitisa manyazi with your comments.. Malawi anadzuka uyu you can’t fool us anymore.. muzichitako manyazi koma
THATS WHY I NEED CHILIMA. Safuna zopusa ngati zimenezi. Magufulication of Malawi is needed.
21 May wayandika pa25 May new Minister of Home affairs osati agwape awa ayi will ensure all involved are arrested and prosecuted fortwith and that will mark the end of Albino killing and abduction.
Suppose one of the opposition members was mentioned in the report, would Hon. Ntaba be saying what he said? I wonder why Govt is handling this issue with lack of seriousness. What do they want us to conclude?
Not at all it could be the first thing on MBC
This clearly demonstrates that DPP killed Buleya and the DPP is an accomplice to albino killings in Malawi. No doubt about this. But this is sad and shameful, to say the least.
Ntaba? Who is Ntaba?
This is a clear sign of unwillingness from government side investigate in the matter! What might be the reason behind?
It is unprocesural for Government to demand the autopsy report from the doctor who was hired by the MHRC and APAM. The Government took a cavalier attitude in this very important matter and was reluctant to take the initiative and responsibility to see that as an urgent matter needed to be treated as such. The Government therefore can only be told of the results like everyone else through MHRC as is the case now. Dr Antaba please ask MHRC for a copy if you are serious that is. In fact you should have done this discretely last week without delay and these lame excuses!
In my observation this Government is not serious on this matter and it is obvious that they want to protect certain people, information if not the little reputation they have left.
If Buleya was purposely eliminated then it implies that the Government is complicitous in the whole sordid scheme, making it look irresponsible and unfit to be governing.
Time is running out fast and the truth is coming to the open. It started badly and will also end up badly…………. let’s watch out that the police who are involved do not get muzzled up or sent out of the country to avoid the facts coming out before the elections. This is the whole reason it is taking time the Government is seemingly not responding……….,,, buying time for cover ups!!!
Lord God please save this country from the evil elite and powerful in Government!
You did order for the report cause you trying to hide your bosses the big fishes now you want the report to act on it lol the one who were serious and care for the people got the report! Dont mask as like u care Mr Ntaba and Dpp!!
Keep on waiting your time with the dead Buleya, I wish his squad were treated the same.
Dr. Mtaba forget about that akabweretsa Report mumanga oyenera kuwamanga, but now why osafufuza zomwe athu ena achiwembu anamenya ndikumvuraza a Belson wachi nyamata yemwe akuphuzitsa athu zakuipa kopha athu achi albino more akuikira kumbuyo boma
Boma ndi a police akudziwapo kanthu
Sick govenment. We thought pitala mobilised a commission with a hefty load of bribe to hide info.
Same with death of JUMANI ,the govenment said it would do its own investigations and bring report. Where is it ,let al9ne CHASOWA,NJAUJU.
