Mzuzu High Court has granted bail to former President Professor Peter Mutharika’s step son Tadikira Mafubza.

Mafubza was arrested in connection with the mass grave of 30 suspected illegal immigrants discovered at Mtangatanga forest reserve in Mzimba late last year.

He has been on remand at Maula prison in Lilongwe since his arrest on November 23 and the case was committed to Mzuzu high court.

Earlier in the day, the presiding Judge reserved his ruling on the case.
