The President of Malawi Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has learnt with great shock of the senseless murder of four elderly people in cold blood by a mob in Neno for suspecting them to have killed a 17 year-old girl using lightning.
The President is saddened by the brutal acts of the mob in Chimbalanga Village and has since ordered the Inspector General of the Malawi Police Services to investigate the matter and bring to justice and trial of all those involved in the killing of the four innocent people.
President Mutharika is again reminding Malawians to stop accusing the elderly of witchcraft whenever someone dies.
The Malawi President says the elderly people deserve respect and protection at all costs and that His Government will not tolerate any victimization of the elderly people in this country.
