Police vehicle hits, kills Mtambo’s uncle: Raise suspicions
A Malawi police vehicle in Chitipa has hit and killed instantly an uncle to outspoken human rights activist Timothy Mtambo, bringing fears of the safety of the activists and their families.
The death comes at a time when Mtambo and his Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) have heightened anti-Jane Ansah protests, drawing criticism and opposition from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) operatives.
Police spokesperson in Chitipa Gladwell Simwaka has confirmed a police vehicle has crashed to death Binwell Mtambo.
The fatal accident, he said, took place on Thursday evening.
“The vehicle was coming from Lufita when it accidently hit Mr. Mtambo,” said Simwaka.
But HRDC chairperson in the district Sydney Simwaka said the accident is suspicious.
Simwaka said the vehicle had no head lights.
“We went to police after the incident, but it seems the vehicle in question does not have lights and this may have led to the accident,” he said.
Under the leadership of Mtambo, the HRDC has been organising protests aimed at forcing the resignation of Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah.
They accuse Ansah of overseeing a fraudulent electoral process.
Never start a fight with the majority if you have few obvious hands.

This murder absolutely signifies Civil War on Tuesday.We are going to avenge this murder because we surely know that this was not an accident but the way of forcing HRDC to stop organising Demonstrations.One or two Police men must die on Tuesday, ‘mark my words’.

Our turn to battle against POLICE.
What the story is missing is that the police vehicle is alleged to have no headlights at the time of the accident. Why were there no lights on police vehicle when it is the same police that ensures that motorists are driving roadworthy vehicles. Theirs too was not road worthy and this is a court case. In my view this was pre-planned. Jose continues to kill people, a desperate attempt to scare Mtambo and all demo organisers. Just a minute, you will pay price soon.
kkkkkkkkk yesterday you was happy for the dearth of Lomwes Chief today you said what? shame.
Dikilani mumve zalachiwiri likudzali ndiye mudzasekelere bwino.Tionana lachiwiri.

And chief ya alhomwe inakwera mothandizidwa ndi kondwani nankhumwa from group village headman to paramount within 2-3years not good. Now this man has been hit by police car pre planned and cruel death. Wealth compassion of millions. Because mzotumidwa. DPP sifika pa tali lets wait and see mudzanya mumamana the day is coming kukusiyani choncho alhomwe minority tribe mudza zolowera wait . But its so sad police has done that.
