For that charge, the Blantyre Central Senior Resident Magistrate Court yesterday sentenced him to 21 years imprisonment with hard labour.<\/p>\n<p>This is according to a statement by Peter Mchiza, Public Relations Officer for Blantyre Police Station. Namadidi who is also nicknamed Gude committed the offence near Blantyre International University in Michiru Forest. He murdered Miss Mbowani before going away with a Laptop Computer and a Home Theater.<\/p>\n<p>He was then arrested following investigations by Police.
