Goodson Namadidi, 22, has pleaded guilty to the murder of 21-year-old Zainab Mbowani who was killed on November 30 at Michiru Forest in Blantyre.

Namadidi also admitted to the theft of a laptop and home theater belonging to the victim. For that charge, the Blantyre Central Senior Resident Magistrate Court yesterday sentenced him to 21 years imprisonment with hard labor.

This is according to a statement by Peter Mchiza, Public Relations Officer for Blantyre Police Station.

Namadidi who is also nicknamed Gude committed the offense near Blantyre International University (BIU) in Michiru Forest. He murdered Miss Mbowani, a University of Malawi (UNIMA) Graduate before going away with a Laptop Computer and a Home Theater.

He was then arrested following investigations by Police.  He had admitted to Police that he is indeed the one who killed Mbowani and went away with the said properties.

On the 16th of December, 2021, he appeared before the court where he admitted to charges of robbery and murder.

The Court, therefore, convicted and sentenced him to 21 years imprisonment with hard labor for the offense of armed robbery.

Namadidi has since started serving the 21-year long sentence while waiting for Judgement on the murder case.

Goodson Namadidi (Gude) is from Suya Village Traditional Authority Machinjiri in Blantyre District.
