\u00a0He added the apprehended suspects will face the law as soon as investigations are finalised.<\/span><\/p>\n

The suspects are all from Kande Trading Centre in the district.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Northern Region Police Commissioner Hannegs Mlotha who condoled Phiri’s family in Nkhata Bay has pledge<\/span>d\u00a0<\/span>to intensify security for all people with albinism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Association of Persons with Albinism of Malawi president Overstone Kondowe\u00a0recently condemned the attack, saying it has just proven that people with albinism in the country are still vulnerable as their security cannot be guaranteed.<\/span><\/p>\n
