Mysterious death with missing body party: Man killed on his door step
A man in his 50s only identified as Magombo was dumped dead about 100 meters from his house without a left foot at Sumani Village in Traditional Authority Mposa in Machinga with possibilities that he was brutally murdered right on his door without the knowledge of his neighbours for three days since his disappear.
The body was discovered in a bush under a tree in a bad state Saturday morning when people in the village failed to recognize the deceased due to partial decomposition.
When the police and medical personnel arrived at the scene they ordered the villagers to bury the dead right on the spot.
The deceased had a big cut on his neck, with a swollen head and had one foot missing at the time of discovery.
100 meters from the spot was his house where blood spots were discovered and sand was poured over to leave no traces of blood as his house was locked and pair of sleepers was seen on his door.
But when the police turned his body to prepare his burial people at the scene identified the man by his waist belt and this changed the mood as women and other sympasaziers sobbed upon discovery that the man was the son of the village.
The police picked two men who are relatives to the deceased for questioning.

This murder is symptomatic of the salvage behaviour of illiterate people. These acts are becoming too common, and will increase as the population of illiterates increase in the country.
What makes me sad, is the lukewarm manner in which these cases are dealt with by the law enforcement agents. Besides hustling people driving through Malawi’s roads, The police does nothing else. Every police man is a traffic officer in Malawi, scheming money from motorists, and government doesn’t care, why?. What a country!!
