It is reported that late Dulani was robbed of his laptop which the law enforcers have since recovered from the suspects.



Meanwhile, Deputy Police Spokesperson in the South West Region Beatrice Mikuwa has applauded the relationship the law enforcers have with communities in fighting crime.

“People should be commended for tipping the police whenever they suspect others have committed a crime. This should be commended,” said Mikuwa

She added Police have further arrested murder suspects in Mdeka and Lirangwe within Blantyre, and one other in Chiradzulu who is alleged to have recently murdered a man before stealing his bicycle at Speedy’s in the district.

Dulani was pursuing a course in Business Management and Entrepreneurship at the college and met his fate in Nkolokosa Township on his way from a Mosque.
