  1. Mdziko mukachuluka ma bulutu ndi chonchi sizodabwisa a Malawi uchitsiru wafikapo dziko losauka ndi mumaganizo momwe. Osadikila kuti mudziwe chapha ana ndi chani koma nsanje ndi chuma chamwini kuwononga pazifukwa zosamveka

  2. why this man at large?he got busted while trying to get away with todlers bodies?who find out of the bodies in the car n what time this happened, lets wait for a postmorterm

  3. It is possible that the kids got into the car on their own without the businessman knowing if the car wasn’t locked. The kids could have died due to vehicular heatstroke (hot car death). Izi zimachitika ngakhala kwaazungu. Please, let’s remember to lock up cars when not attended for too long and do not leave kids in cars with closed windows.

      1. Kambewa I think you should just read up on such because you are beyond redemption . I is very possible and happens all the time

  4. Koma DPP osangovomera kuti chisanhko mwaluza bwanji…….akukunamizani ndani kuti kupha ana kapena kuotcha anthu nde kuti muwina zisankho?

  5. Sounds quite suspicious as to why he would keep the bodies in a visible place, within the area of abduction. Anyhow may the souls of these poor children rest in peace

    1. If u received same story u will hear voice notes of eye witnesses that it’s wife who topped the neighbour kuti akatsegule mgalimoto mwa amuna awo some zomwe akubisa

  6. Dausi, where are you , wayimva iyi? Still investigating my foot! Please kill the business man and his family asap. Stupid DPP

  7. Zangolowa jelasi. The children sneaked into the car accidentallly locked the doors, could not get out and suffocated. Why would a killer leave the dead bodies so exposed?

  8. Very sad, Common that children will die in sealed cars very quickly when the weather is hot.
    Double tragedy when people take law into their own hands before an investigation.

  9. That’s the problem with uncivilised mentality of us Malawians instead of looking into facts we only jump to wrong conclusions. Why do we always believe people succeed because of witchcraft not hardwork?Without underrating the death of two innocent souls but i suspect this was a tragic accident nothing to do with juju. How could someone kill the kids and dump them in his car?
    Was the car mobile? Were any parts of the girls mutilated? Wasn’t it that the kids were playing in the car and ended up locking themselves while windows up and suffocated to death as a result? Mangochi is hot, accidents like these happens all over the world especially where temperatures can go above 30 degrees, inside a stationary closed car, that translate to 120 degrees. Just thinking, could i be wrong or right?

    1. The illustrated photo clearly shows a child resting her head on the arm rest this is clearly a child who became weak and tired and died of heat stroke.
      Not murder – kids would have been found in the trunk.
      Believe the kids were curious excited to be in a car but did not how to open the doors simply died due to the excessive heat.

      A tragic accident where children entered a compound unsupervised by their parents.

    2. Too many hypotheses and imaginations in this man’s ranting. Ask the police am sure they will ask the suspect. You say it happens all over the world but you fail to substantiate with statistics. Stop imaginations

    1. even in UK kids die if left alone in cars , dogs also, I put a thermometer on my dashboard on time and it read 146 through the windscreen, outside it was 25c death comes quickly even if you just go into supermarket for 10 minutes . people passing by kick your windows out if the kids are distressed and kick you when you return, good treatment !!!
