An angry mob has killed a 16-year-old boy in Mzuzu on suspicion that he was involved in armed robbery at Mchengautuba Primary School, according to Mzuzu Police.

Mzuzu Police Spokesperson Sergeant Cecilia Mfune said the boy, Kondwani Pindani, was assaulted at Mchengautuba Primary School on Wednesday after angry residents pounced on him.

”Pindani was taken to Mzuzu Central Hospital, where he died from internal injuries while receiving treatment, the postmortem confirmed,”said Mfune.

Following his death, the deceased’s sympathisers on the same day went on rampage, stoning a house belonging to a suspected masterminder of the mob attack.

No arrests have been made yet, Mfune said, but police plan to arrest anyone involved in the killing of Pindani and the damage to the house.
