BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)—The Nsanje Second Grade Magistrate Court has committed to the High Court a murder case involving Robert Chabvi, a ward councilor for Nsanje South Constituency.
Chabvi is suspected to have beaten to death one of his shepherds for failing to account for the missing of four goats.
Chabvi has, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge, a development that has compelled Magistrate John Mphahiwa to commit the matter to the high court as the lower court has no jurisdiction to hear murder cases.
Meanwhile, Chabvi has hired Edwin Banda private practice lawyer to represent him.
