Five people in Chiradzulu have been arrested on suspicion of violating the Milepa police station in the district.

Police spokesperson in Chiradzulu, Cosmas Kagulo, said this happened on 21 November this year when some people in the area pressured the police to release a person suspected of killing a child from custody.

These people want to punish the suspect themselves. When the police refused to let him out, the angry people started breaking things at the police station, including the police officers’ offices.

Since then, the police have been looking for people who did this until they caught them.
