Dowa Police Spokesperson, Sub-inspector Gladson M’bumpha, has confirmed of the development in an interview with the press and identified the suspect as Innocent Poita.

According to M’bumpha, the suspect allegedly committed the offence between 2016 and November 2020 in the area of Traditional Authority Chiwere in Dowa District.
