A wife to an ex-minister (name withheld in the meantime) who served in the late Mutharika regime has been the centre of a fracas that has seen one boy battling for his life in Chigumula, Blantyre.

Reports that we are still gathering indicate that the wife to the ex-minister was going out with the two boys, aged twenty and nineteen respectively.

However, amongst themselves the young men started becoming jealousy of one another and eventually when they got to collide, a fight ensued.

One of the two, the twenty year old, has been hurt so bad such that now he has been admitted at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre.
