Four security guards working for Naming’omba tea estate are behind the bar on suspicion that they murdered a man identified as Owen Matchowa.

The deceased was allegedly assaulted to death by the guards two weeks ago.

It is being alleged that Matchowa working as driver was attacked by the guards along his assistant on accusation that they had stolen firewood from the estate.

Meanwhile, Douglas Moffat, District Commissioner for Thyolo said the arrest has followed investigations conducted by the Police.
