“I can confirm that we have arrested Maliro after intensive and thorough investigations that led us to track him down to Thyolo. He used to work as houseboy for the evangelist. We are still conducting investigations,” said Kadadzera.
He said Maliro, 28, comes from Michongwe Village, Traditional Authority Mkula in Machinga.
“He is assisting us with further investigations and we will not relent until the matter is resolved,” said Kadadzera of the murder that shocked the nation.
