Police in Lilongwe have taken Egnat Katengeza into custody for allegedly killing her sister, Agnes Katengeza, last year. The 51-year-old suspect faces murder charges after investigators gathered additional evidence linking her to the September 2023 death. Agnes Katengeza was discovered deceased inside her Kia Sportage vehicle behind Gateway Mall on September 24. Authorities had previously arrested the sisters' half-brother, Amos Katengeza, in December, who subsequently identified Egnat as his accomplice during interrogation. Police spokesman Hastings Chigalu confirmed that financial gain may have been a motivating factor in the crime.
The victim worked as a Network and Systems Administrator at the Reserve Bank of Malawi before her death at age 44. Egnat Katengeza holds the position of Monitoring and Evaluation Manager at MACRO and resides in Area 25, Sector 5. Investigators found it suspicious that Egnat had reported her sister missing just hours before the body was located. She initially provided a caution statement to police but was released pending further investigation. The case represents a significant breakthrough after months of detective work by local authorities seeking justice for the deceased banking professional.
