Police accused of killing albino murder suspect in cell: Luke family says ‘its ploy to protect biggie’

Sister to a suspect believed to be the master minder in the abduction of a 14-year-old boy with albinism in Dedza has said the police have killed his brother in cell.

Death in custody: Luke Buleya

Anne Luke, sister to Buleya Luke whom the police said has died of “natural causes” whilst in police custody has  doubted the police account.

“My brother never complained of any ailments. Even yesterday, when he appeared in court, he looked healthy. The police have killed him,” said Anne in tears.

She said the police never allowed the relatives to see him at Area 3 police station which she said might have been a sign that he was being tortured.

Cousin to the deceased suspect, Samson Black said the police refused his request to accompany his uncle to Kamuzu Central Hospital.

“They flatly told me I could not join them. He was half naked and it was as if his skin was peeled off by hot water,” said Black.

Luke was said to be the key suspect who recruited those who abducted Goodson Makanjira at a fee of K800 000 which he never honored.

He is said to have known the markets for the body parts of people with albinism.

Apparently,  he was willing to reveal the “biggie” behind the albino killings.

The family suspect Luke has been killed to protect the “biggie” and the powerful syndicate behind the albino ritual murders  from being exposed.

Most of the suspects in albino killings either die under police custody or are reported to commit suicide in suspicious circumstance

Association of People with Albinism in Malawi (Apam) president Overstone Kondowe said he was suspicious with the police version whilst Lilongwe police spokesperson Kingsley Dandaula said people should wait for an autopsy report.

On Monday, European Union Ambassador Sandra Paesen called for serious criminal investigations and coordination among countries to fight abductions and killings of people with albinism.

According to Apam, since November 2014, the number of reported crimes against people with albinism in Malawi has risen to 152 cases, including 25 murders and more than 10 people missing.

  1. There’s mo behind the death of this guy someone is being protected why Malawi police ,mwadzionera nokha amalawi police is waste of time akapezeka konzani

  2. Not sympathizing with Buleya who was also a DPP cadet, karma has taken its course. However, this guy held the key to unlocking the mysteries of albino killings. It is clear the police in conjunction with some DPP officials killed him. DPP is full of satanic people. You have tarnished the reputation of this country. Malawi is no longer the Warm Heart of Africa. Instead, it has become the satanic country of Africa. The government has failed, we as citizens have failed. This country will never be the same! US will not be a safe heaven for our brothers and sisters because it is another satanic country. Not any Western country! They will be bullied and tortured and the kids won’t even be able to go to school. My heart bleeds for our brothers and sisters and I wish this was not my home! God of Abraham, do something to help us love one another. How did we get to this point? I am really furious!

  3. Atleast Buleya, kwanunso anthu alirekonso maliro aone kukoma kwa m’bale akaphedwa mwa nkhanza, inunso mwaliza ma banja ama albino mokwanila. Byeeeeee Buleyaaaa

  4. The police force is part and parcel of the syndicate. The picture shows evidence of unspeakable torture. He was silenced😢😢😢

  5. There are far better methods of extracting a confession than this. I suspect that whoever was interrogating the deceased must have had a personal interest in this criminal act, otherwise the violence meted on the deceased is completely unjustified. It defeats the very purpose of the police including the justice system. All this is nonsense happening in Malawi is possible because the good people who have the means to correct this nonsense are silent,

  6. A Police apa nde mukufuna kubisala pa chipande tu kikikikiki nanga tiziti munthuyu anapita ali choncho ku khonti ko. Komabe mwamuchita bwino, sazaphanso Albion wina ayi.

  7. Please don’t use my tax on autopsy ya killer Buleya. Information ayipeza kale apolisi. Kunatsala nkuchotsa mfitiyi. Death sentence is just rhetoric. Wena akutuluka. Tawonani Misonzi Chanthunya. Kuchotsa zonyasa sitivundikira. Sadzapha Wina Buleya and wena awopa. Such punishment is meant to stop the evil 😈 act altogether.

  8. In Kenya, just last week February 14, 2019, a senior commanding police officer for Ruaraka Police Station was sentenced to death for the murder of a suspect in his custody in 2013. He was found guilty in December 2018 after a full trial by Nairobi High Court. The suspect was arrested on allegation that he was involved a domestic brawl at the suspect’s home. Whilst in police custody, the senior commanding officer, a Mr. Mutua, used a metal bar to hit the suspect and frequently immersed suspect’s head in a drum of water. The suspect died in hospital. ZBS or Times TV aired this story in its international news coverage. Those who are avid readers of “The East African Standard” newspaper which used to be on sale at Times Book Shops in Blantyre and other news outlets during Kamuzu days can read it from there or Kenya’s “The Nation Daily” newspaper.

  9. Yendani bwino a Buleya mukalandile mphotho yanu kwa mbuyanu satana mdiyerekezi mwamutumikila mokwanila, a BIGGIE anuwo akakupezani konko nthawi yawo ikakwana, inu mwapha albino mwankhanza ndiye mumati mufe imfa yofewa??? osatheka, info yo pitani nayo ena agwidwanso adzaulula ndilibe chisoni ndi infa yanu, go and rot in hell you monster…. damn it

  10. This is really not good, why killing someone who could give us vital information? This is not ordianary, it’s planned and he’s surely been silenced to protect the top gurus. This evil act has to end now and the police are not doing enough together with the government. My heart is saddened, we’re losing innocent lives every month coz of these ritualistic 😢😢

  11. Apa zadziwika kuti Thyolo is the market for Innocent people with a rare skin disorder. Lack of melanin basi inu the Buleyas mudzipha nazo anzanu. Anne Buleya is speaking good English and is speaking well to reporters. This Lule Buleya was no ordinary man too. Issue of concealing vehicle number plates with “Ana Adad” should be taken seriously. Chilima talked about it and is in government now. He knows something about this. These concealed vehicles are being used to evade road blocks. These convoys of over 25 vehicles are questionable. Security yanji imeneyi. Rituals at Ndata.

  12. A Malawi mukuopsa masiku ano. kutamba, devil worshiping. What about the killing of Njaunji? it’s all about covering up . Mafias and the Authorities can not be trusted. so corrupted. God help us!!!!!!!!!

  13. Bvuto ndiloti APM ndi mkazi wake ndi amene ali master otuma ma cadet kt azipha azathuwa ndiye ndipobvuta kupeza solution pokha popka atachoka pampando aliwo thats why asankha Chimulirenji kt azawateteze anthuwa ndi afiti.

  14. im so sure this man anaulula the police have all the information that is needed, some day it will come out nothing can be hidden under the sun
    lets join hands with those organising a vigil at the palace

    1. Let’s not be brain summersaulted here,DPP knows everything happening and they have answers.The police and especially the IG knows everything about albino killings.All I can say now is that not very long from now the truth shall be revealed for I know there is God in heaven who is juust awaiting an opportune time.Vengiance is His ,Amen.

  15. Ku Malawi kulibe death sentence Iwe. Chanthunya is on bail. Tit for tat basi. Wapita sadzaphanso Wina albino. Sitisokerera mpeni mminba. Timachotsa. Wachoka Buleya woyipa. Don’t blame the police agwire ntchito zina. Ana adad akuwonjeza kunja kuno.

  16. The IG, Dausi have to resign immediately, the police are being controlled by the Biggies that are not mentioned. no one is supposed to leave with fear in his/her country. we need to demonstrate as soon as possible to force the Government and the police to tell us the truth about the story. should we say that the family of the Luke has no any information about the Biggies that are not mentioned here?

  17. Police imatsinatu kumene, anthu oyipawa mukuona ngati angaulule osawatsina. Nachipant anaulura msika omwe amkakagulitsa zake zija, kapena anaulura biggie fish, si uyu akungoseva yekhayo. Amalawi komatu mukanamugwira inu bwenzi mutapanga mob justice pano mukuchuluka nzeru.

  18. Albino syndicate (20 Jan 2019 · Malawi Nyasa Times )

    Kalindo said his arrest has taught him a lot of things including getting to know the syndicate of the albino killings.

    He claims that the albino killing is a syndicate and it involves senior officials with big names hence the need to stop pushing the blame on witch doctors or rituals.

    “I will come back to reveal everything through this programme once my case is completed at court,” said Kalindo.

  19. Much as I regret that some of valuable information may have gone with him but I have no sympathy for his idiot. He is responsible for gruesome murders himself. He had no mercy hence no mercy was supposed to be shown to him. In fact he was supposed to be cut into pieces alive with a chainsaw, Khashoggi type. Certain man of old said “don’t do to others what you don’t like when done to yourself” his name was Hammurabi. Please give his body to dogs. Tsono iwe Anne Luka usatinyanse, anzako enanso akhanva chimodzimodzi m’bale wakoyo atapha ana awo as if he is killing a goat. Foolish.

    My message to government is simple: kill all intentional killers, they don’t have any right to life as they destroy life themselves and do not respect life.

    1. he was a suspect untill proven guilty only then you can have no mercy but if you encourage this innocent people can be killed by authorities trying to get info. could be your relatives. I think everyone deserves a free trail murder is still sin

    2. Watsala wansembe uja, nayenso apite basi, anthu okuphawa akapatsidwa bail basi zatha, a mabungwe abwera ndi ndalama zawo za mwazi basi ndikumawatulutsitsa ati human right. Nanga amene anaphedwayo analibe human right. Nayenso Ane Lukayo asatinyanse, bwanji samkapanga report ku police kuti brother wake ndi chigawenga chopha anthu. Amangosangalala ndi money amadyayo basi ngatinso if it is true kuti amalemera ndi ziwalo za anthu. Mphontho ya uchimo ndi imfa.

  20. Ntchito za mpayoniya Dausi ndi zimenezi. Don’t forget Saulosi Chilima said “Bwana njoka saweta, but the President didn’t get the message or he deliberately chose to not to have understood it.

  21. The police know something. Those who were on duty should be taken into custody and questioned thoroughly by the military police guys to establish wat really happened. Some Big Fishes are being shielded by these notorious and nobleless police officers. Apapanso sangatinamize kuti sakudziwa komwe kukumapititsidwa anzathuwa akabedwa. THEY KNOW. ASANAME. DAUSI AND TEAM SHOULD COME OUT CLEARLY APA. Asatitenge ife ngati zitsilu ai.

  22. Dausi himself knows alot about it. He has alot of tricks to calm the situation without producing results. He had taken no steps to find out why the key suspects die mistriously

  23. Suspected criminals are supposed to be religiously guarded by the police,with the same police policing the police. Otherwise the story of death in police custody is embarrassing to both the police and government,unfortunately for our Malawi our politicians and servants are never embarrassed,because they are dumb.

  24. Annie Buleya, your brother has caused a lot of suffering to people with albinism. He deserves to die like this. Lule Buleya needs to be disposed of like Osama bin Laden. He was a devil. He was evil. In fact, the Buleya family needs to be investigated. It’s a family that believes in superstitions. Biggie anaba K145 million for albinos?

    1. Biggie….are u ok in the head…..the issue is simple, by killing him, who are they shielding……we want them too

      1. Ku Malawi kulibe death sentence Iwe. Chanthunya is on bail. Tit for tat basi. Wapita sadzaphanso Wina albino. Sitisokerera mpeni mminba. Timachotsa. Wachoka Buleya woyipa. Don’t blame the police agwire ntchito zina.

    2. Koma ife timafuna tidziwe komwe amakagulitsa ma parts wo. Ndiye mwamupha nsanga chonchi chifukwa chiyani? Mutiyankha mafunso omwe tili nawo?
      You owe Malawians a lot

    3. akulu inunso bwanji?this person was not supposed to die …..ameneyu ndamene amayenela kuulula now he is dead tipanga bwanji? those who have killed him knows something …..kumamvetsetsa nkhaniyi

    1. There is no secret over the death of this man. it is the DPP in action to avoid him mentioning the name(s) of the big fish killing albinos. Apa mposasowa umboni. Its DPP behind the killings. The police were acting under instruction from their chain of bosses. Jose, Dausi and Peter.

    2. Bola apa, komatu iwowa akumachita kusenda chikopa cha munthu ngati akusenda mbuzi. Zoti akupangila nkhanza alubino simukudziwa? Why feeling sorry for him and he even confessed doing the evil thing

  25. Whatever this man did he didn’t deserve to be killed asanaulule what went on,the where abouts of Goodson and anamutuma ndani?Police akudziwapo kanthu.We need answers or Dausi atule pansi udindo

  26. The torture was the only right thing for him to reveal the market. Unfortunately he died while being tortured. Criminals like him need such treatment to reveal. Mumafuna azimudyesa pizza kuti awulule ????

      1. Kape ndi Ambwiyako. If Police wanted to hide someone they wldnt have made such arrests in the first place.

        1. Musawonetse kuchenjera apa….iwe sukuziwa kuti. this guy migh have been killed to cover up?…he has died with valuable info….it’s a criminal web..killing the weak link on criminality chain….

  27. we hava very dull police officers. This needed 5 star treatment. he had the information we all needed. he was our main lead towards cracking the abductions/murders……. so stupid, pig headed police officers decided to torture him to death??? b4 the nation got the important info?? shame! our IG has to resign also. He was supposed to be on top of this. ……..Now we know for real….the killings are the work of DPP. We have no option but to vote you out of government and you must never come back.

  28. How can you let this important witness die like that? Something is very wrong. There is evil in this country. Ma Bigiewa ativuta.

  29. I new it. These are DPP people killing Albinos. The police will only kill for the DPP BIGGIES. Another prophet vows to testify. Vote these people out on May 21.
