Ntchisi Police Spokesperson, Yohane Tasowana who identified the suspect as Richard Nyongani, said the reason behind the gruesome murder is not yet known.<\/p>\n<p>Nyongani is said to have fled after the incident and his whereabouts are not known. According to Tasowana, the deceased, whom he identified as Mudatayika Antone from Chamayere Village in Traditional Authority Chikho\u2019s area, met her fate on September 8, 2022 at Pondani Village in the district.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ordeal came to light when the sister to the suspect heard a baby crying continuously in the couple\u2019s house which prompted her to check, only to find her sister in law lying in a pool of blood,\u201d said Tasowana.<\/p>\n<p>He said the deceased had a deep wound on her neck. Postmortem results indicate that the death was due to severe loss of blood. Police have since instituted investigations to arrest the suspect. Meanwhile, Ntchisi District Gender Officer, Chikondi Macheso has described the murder as unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unfortunate that even after a number of awareness campaigns, including hosting a number of Gender Based Violence and Child Protection campaigns, we still have such cases with extreme effects as death in the area,\u201d said Macheso.<\/p>\n<p>She said her office, in conjunction with the District\u2019s Gender Technical Working Group in and in liaison with the chiefs\u2019 forum in the district, will strategise on how best they can address GBV issues in the district.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis serves as a wakeup call for more action and engagement from our office (Gender Office),\u201d said Macheso.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
