  • Three acquitted
  • Two other also have case to answer

The High Court in Lilongwe today found former Malawi Minister of Justice Ralph Kasambara has case to answer on the charge of conspiracy to murder former Ministry of Finance budget director Paul Mphwiyo.kasambara_courtnatTwo others, Pika Manondo and Macdonald Kumwembe will also answer charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

However, the court has determined that the prosecution had failed to provide sufficient evidence to implicate businessperson Oswald Lutepo, Robert Kadzuwa and Dauka Manondo in the conspiracy to commit murder charges they were facing.

This means on May 22, Kasambara, Pika Manondo and Kumwembe, who Mphwiyo identified as the one who shot him, will start defending themselves to prove their innocence in the shooting of Mphwiyo on September 13 2013.
