He said there were no signs of torture or injuries on their bodies.
A businessman in Mangochi is to answer murder charges after two girls, aged 5 and 6, were found dead in his compound.
The girls, from different families, were last last seen playing outside the compound of the businessman ldrissa Wasi, on Thursday, May 14, 2020 at about 0900hrs.
Maida added that the girls were found dead by the wife of ldrissa in a motor vehicle inside their compound at about 1800hrs at village Kera in Traditional Authority Mponda in the district.
In reaction to the development, an angry mob took the law into their own hands and set on fire five motor vehicles and three houses and one warehouse property of Wasi.

I almost could have faced the same fate here in Lilongwe when a nieghbour’s 4 year kid just sneaked into my vehicle. lucky enough she banged into the doors and I opened for her. People of Mangochi.Al umuru bimaqasidiha(Actions are guided by its intentions).Idrissa is 100 % innocent.

Not murder but an unfortunate accident and curiosity of young children who regretfully lacked knowledge to open a car door VERY SAD How about charges to the people who took the law into their own hands and burnt the buildings and destroyed the cars ANY ARRESTS Malawi Police Favourite saying it’s being investigated!
