Police in Lilongwe have arrested two ex-convicts on suspicion that they broke into a house of a British national, Rashid Sattar in Area 9.

Lilongwe Police Station spokesperson Hastings Chigalu identified the suspects as McDonald Spider, 38, and Christopher Gumulira, 39, who he says are well-known habitual criminals.

Chigalu explained the suspects stole two Dell laptop computers, two plasma TV screens, 12 pieces of jewellery, and K500 thousand cash, all valued at K5.5 million.

He adds they have so far recovered a wrist watch, sets of curtains, and perfumes.

“The suspects, accompanied by two others who are still at large, while armed with panga knives, invaded Sattar’s house.

“They tied a watchman, a housemaid, and a garden boy, before breaking into the house and going away with the said property” says Chigalu.

The suspects have since admitted committing the offence as police are still hunting for their accomplices currently on the run.
