As the people’s trust in the police deteriorates, an angry mob has this morning killed a thief in Lilongwe (stripping him naked in the process).
Using the stoning process, the thief has been killed after being apprehended as he was attempting to attack a woman in the Capital together with three friends of his.
While luck lingered above the heads of the three, it appeared today luck was not on his side and that is why the mob cornered him.
The mob did not even decide to take him to police but taking the law into their own hands with an immediate result being the death of the robber whom they used the renowned Islamic sharia law of stoning a suspected sinner to death.
Cases of mob justice have been on an increase in Malawi lately especially after people have lost the faith they had in the Police Service.
