Police Burns Coffins Confiscated From Ritualists In Neno

As ordered by the magistrate court in Neno, police today destroyed two coffins that were confiscated from two ritualists.

First Grade Magistrate Margret Khobili sentenced Christopher Manyika to a two-year suspended sentence for conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace.

The court found Manyika guilty and sentenced him to six months in prison after he was caught red-handed at night carrying coffins believed to be connected to wealth rituals.

Manyika was arrested last month following a tip-off to the police about him and his accomplice, Henry Kapakasa, transporting coffins from their residence to Chifenthe village grounds around midnight.
