Police in Mzuzu have recaptured a second murder suspect who escaped lawful custody yesterday.

Mzuzu police public relations officer Paul Tembo confirmed to the press that four suspects botched from their custody.

However, Tembo said that one of the four was recaptured the same day, leaving out three on the run.

With the second one recaptured, two are still on the run and Tembo has asked the people to help the police by reporting to them if they come across suspicious people in their communities.
