Unknown thugs have attacked and killed a businessman Aniz Ammad Kali at BCA Hill in Blantyre.
National Police Spokesperson James Kadadzera has confirmed of the development in a statement made available to faceofmalawi.
According to the police statement, the attack happened on Tuesday evening.
“The Malawi Police Service (MPS) warns the general public, especially business persons, against keeping large sums of money in shops or homes.
