A suspected gulewamkulu dancer is in police custody on allegation that he murdered a 67 year old man last month after a disagreement over funeral arrangement.

Mayani Police Officer Incharge Assistant Superintendent Macdonald Mulima confirmed of the arrest in an interview and identified the suspect as Yamikani Katentha.

The arrest comes after the Chewa Heritage Foundation said it is investigating recent reports that some alleged Gule Wamkulu members sodomized young boys in Ntchisi as punishment for reporting late at an initiation camp.

CHEFO Chairperson Professor George Kanyama Phiri said if their findings confirm the incident, the gule wamkulu members will face justice, the traditional way.
