Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawi Police Service (MPS) at Kawale\u2019s lower formation, Area 24 Police Unit in the capital Lilongwe on February 18, 2023 arrested Andrew Mthiko, 38, for offering on sale noxious food (dog meat).<\/p>\n

The suspect used to conduct his business as a mobile vender while roasting the meat on his charcoal burner around area 24 and surrounding areas in the disguise of goat meat.<\/p>\n

Kawale Police Station publicist Mabvuto Precious Phiri told The Maravi Post that on Saturday, February 18, 2023, Area 24 Police officers received a tip-off that they are sniffing a strange smell from the suspect\u2019s house. Phiri added that detectives went to find out only to discover that the suspect was busy doing braii (kanyenya).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen asked, he lied to police officers that it\u2019s goat meat for his personal consumption but his confession that it\u2019s dog\u2019s meat came in when officers discover skulls and fresh dog heads on top of the roof of his bathroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter his arrest, it was further discovered from on lookers, who have been his customers for a while that the suspect disguised the dog meat as goat\u2019s,\u201d discloses Kawale Police publicist.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the suspect is in police custody and will be appearing in court soon. The suspect Mthiko hails from Kalumbu Village, Traditional Authority (T.A) Kalumbu in Lilongwe district.<\/p>\n
