A 19-year-old suspect in theft, Gift Mulangiwa, has been taken into custody by Malawian police after he was discovered attempting to steal goods from a 28-year-old woman and bit off her lower lip.
On Tuesday, December 5, 2023, Sergeant Alice Sichali, the Monkey Bay Police Station’s public relations officer, confirmed the arrest to the media.
“On December 2, 2023, at 21:00hrs, the woman went to sleep. In the wee hours of 3rd December 2023, the suspect broke into her house with the intention to steal,” the PRO said.
The woman woke up after hearing an unusual noise from the room and she managed to apprehend him.
However, in the process, the suspect bit off her lower lip.
She later shouted for help and well-wishers rushed to the scene and managed to arrest him.
The suspect was then taken to the Nsaka Police unit for further police action.
