Missing Salima child found dead in Dowa
Police are looking for unknown people who are suspected of abducting and killing a seven-year-old boy who went missing last week in Salima District.
The Child was found dead at Chezi Trading Centre in Dowa on Sunday.
Dowa Police spokesperson Sergeant Richard Kaponda confirmed the incident, saying
the child, Desire Mbite, had his heart and private parts removed.
Kaponda said the body was found by mice hunters who reported the incident to Chezi Police Unit.
“Police visited the scene and the body was taken to Dowa District Hospital for post-mortem where results indicated that the boy died of haemorrhage caused by cervical cord injury,” he said.
Kaponda said police have since launched an investigation into the matter.
In a separate interview, Salima Police spokesperson Sergeant Gift Chitowe said the deceased’s parents reported of the missing child last week after he did not return home from Takumana Trading Centre to buy freezits papers.
The deceased came from Chisani Village in the area of Senior Chief Kalonga in Salima.
People are so heartless. How could you kill such a little boy hee. I’m so heart broken
I know that perpetrators will read this to see how their case is getting serious, Listen to what the Lord Jesus is saying to you: The blood of this innocent boy will be counted on you and you will keep on being haunted until you seek prayer from a man of God. God has put a mark on your forehead and you will never run away from the WRATH of the Most High; thats says the Lord!
