BY THERESA CHAPULAPULA
Police have finally instituted investigations to establish as to whether or not Innocent Matewere the man who caught Jack Bandawe had a hand in the Ndirande mysterious attacks.
Bandawe stunned the court on January 12 when he indicated that Matewere was part of the syndicate.
Southern Region police publicist Superintendent Davie Chingwalu confirmed the development in an interview over the weekend.
“As you are aware that Bandawe claimed in court that Matewere had a hand on the Ndirande attacks, so we want to establish the truth,” he said.
He said the investigations would help to establish the truth on the matter.
“If his name was just mentioned, then his name will be cleared after the investigations,” Chingwalu said.
He could not say how far the police have gone with investigations on the allegations.
When contacted, Matewere said,” I can not comment on the matter. Bandawe has mentioned my name, so how can a suspect grant an interview.”
Matewere indicated that he would grant an interview once the issue is finalised in court.
This comes barely three weeks after Malawi Television recognised Matewere by giving him an award for catching Bandawe.
Bandawe claimed that his capture was a set up to get him caught because he was planning to run away to South Africa.
Bandawe also popularly known as Nachipanti with his co-accused Alinuswe Munde, Towera Chisa, Kelvin Kelly Chisa and Noel Numeri are answering three counts of burglary, theft and causing grievous harm.
They have also other murder cases to answer at the High Court.
