Two watchmen just got arrested for murdering a coworker over raincoat money. Lilongwe Police apprehended Maxwell Gwedemula and Chikumbutso Fulailo for allegedly stabbing fellow guard Lloyd Tsosa to death. The violence erupted at Tsoka Flea Market following a dispute about four thousand kwacha. Tsosa had received the funds from their shared employer specifically to purchase a raincoat.
His colleagues reportedly mocked him, claiming the amount was too small. That argument escalated into a physical altercation. Gwedemula allegedly used a broken glass bottle as a weapon, stabbing Tsosa multiple times in the chest, head, and stomach. The victim sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene.
Police spokesperson Hastings Chigalu confirmed the arrest of both individuals. The suspects remain in custody, facing murder charges. Tsosa’s body was taken to Kamuzu Central Hospital for a postmortem examination. Authorities strongly condemned the violence, urging communities to resolve disputes peacefully and report criminal behavior.
