According to the reports, Norman Chisale, a murder suspect and private bodyguard for former President Peter Mutharika, has  re-applied to the high court for bail, this time on medical grounds.

“Since being denied bail, the client has also beefed up his legal team that now includes Chancy Gondwe, Gilbert Khonyongwa and Fostino Maere,” said member of Chisale’s legal team.

He added “the trio’s first task was a bail re-application for Chisale in the murder case. It was filed on September 3”.

The high court judge Kamanga is due to rule on the fresh bail application this Thursday in Lilongwe after reading submissions from both prosecution and defense.

Chisale’s lawyers made the fresh bail application on change of circumstances claiming their client is unwell.
