Court Acquits Chisale, Condemns Police for Arrest Without Proof

The Principal Resident Magistrate’s Court in Lilongwe has acquitted former president Peter Mutharika’s personal bodyguard Norman Chisale in a matter in which he was being accused of intimidating public officers and obstructing justice.

Chisale was arrested after some public officers including Minister of Justice Titus Mvalo and former Director of Public Prosecutions Steven Kayuni complained that they were threatened by Chisale.

Chisale was facing six counts and has been acquitted on all of them.
