so sad, why Malawians doing such bad.
This is the reason am an advocate of death penalty. Malawians no longer fear killing one another nowadays knowing pretty well hat they will not be killed themselves. What proof is there that the four had bewitched the young lady? May be a Nyasa simunafufuze bwino?
The death of the young woman was caused by a natural process whereby static electricity sought the ground from the storm clouds above her.

Yes it pains when ur relative is killed without any reason if the death of this girl these copes r responsible hv no mercy on them
This is a deplorable and heinous act perpetrated by uneducated savages who took upon themselves the roles of the persecutor, police and judges at the same time. Just imagine these helpless elderly group of people facing such a violent mob of blood -thirsty savages . This kind of death is brutal and barbaric and should never be allowed to happen again. Those responsible for tbese deaths should face the long arm of the Law, no mercy. For those in support of this barbaric act just know that next time azakhala agogo anu kapena inu, kuphedwa momvetsa chisoni choncho!!!!
Ndekuti agogo amathanyula amenewa. Ma gay akuyenda mosaopa..
this sums up the government and the people’s perception, even here some comments shows how ignorant people are in Malawi.sooooooooooooooo sad ppple, UMBATAMA WOOPSA.
U , people think b4 u comment , how possible lightening kill a 17year old girl leaving old once. U police again do some reasoning b4 any arrest otherwise u gona miss a target.
Some of us always hanker after wisdom and some of it, we get from people’s comments here. As such, zimawawa kwambiri to sense wisdom in somebody’s comment koma kuona kuti comment yo siikumveka iai. Am trying hard to make sense of your comment but am failing.
look @ the age perception and reality
If I had to choose (and I hope that I don’t have to), I would prefer sodomy to murder. How would the hateful ones of Malawi who rail against homosexuals feel about that?
