Five suspects in Ntchisi have been arrested on allegation that they stoned to death Grace Chilemba over witchcraft accusations.
District Police publicist Salomy Zgambo identified the suspects as Feston Chitsamba, Kachaje Chimera, William Bredala, Christina Chibade and Misonzi Bredala.
“Grace’s husband died suddenly early this year, after burial, people from the husband’s side started accusing the wife of witchcraft that she’s the one that killed her husband.
Zgambo said that the suspects stormed the house of Grace on 19 January and stoned her to death before dragging her body which they later dumped into the river.
“The suspects are expected to appear in court to answer murder charges.” Said Zgambo.
