Malawi Police Service spokesperson James Kadadzera said a postmortem which was conducted revealed that Bonongwe was assaulted to death. Bonongwe was found dead in his bathroom at around 9PM on Friday at Airfield Location at Dedza Boma. At the time he was found, there was a piece of rope tying his neck to the shower.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was discovered by a neighbor who is also a colleague, who had been alerted by Mr Bonongwe\u2019s watchman,\u201d said Kadadzera on Sunday. He added that Mr Bonongwe\u2019s servants \u2013 a guard, house servant and ground labourer \u2013 had been detained by police for questioning.<\/p>\n

MRA in a statement on Sunday hailed Bonongwe as a valued and respected member of the MRA family who instilled professionalism and integrity in border operations at the station and all other offices where he worked.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe tirelessly waged war against corruption and smuggling and conveyance of goods, fraud and bribery in line with MRA\u2019s mission, vision and core values,\u201d the tax collector said.<\/p>\n
