Suspect on remand in Malawi police cell commits suicide
A suspect who was answering charges of trafficking 89 bags of indian hemp was on Thursday found dead in a police cell in Salima after he allegedly committed suicide by stabbing himself with an object in the stomach and chest.
Salima police spokesman Gift Chitowe identified the deceased suspect as Alex Juma.
Chitowe said the 27 year suspect was transferred from Nkhotakota Police Station after he constantly harassed and caused havoc among other suspects, saying he beat some of the suspects remanded with him at Nkhotakota Police station.
“We suspected he had a mental illness probably due to depression so we decided to transfer him to Salima Police Station where he was put in isolation cell,” said Chitowe.
Juma, who hailed from Mataka Village in Chief Likoswe village in Chiradzulu was arrested on December 7, 2015. Chitowe said a postmortem showed Juma died of severe bleeding.

Boniface Alexander Juma was my nephew. It saddens me that reporters are posting stories in the different media houses without first getting any information from the suspect’s/victim’s family first.

You make your own conclusions: About three weeks ago suspect was working as a minibus conductor for MP Solomon from Thyolo Suspect came home to his wife on or about the 17th of November and told his wife he had stopped work.

Ours is the most reformed police force. It’s not police service as they claim. It’s a terrible organization lacking basic skills in investigation& interrogation.
They are paid to intimidate people. Zigawenga zili kuno ku Mangochi zanyanya abale.
