Police in Lilongwe have arrested one of their own for allegedly sodomising a suspect who was being kept in custody.
Central Region Police Public Relations Officer John Namalenga said Sub-Inspector Enock Gibson Chiwanda, Officer-in-charge of Area 47 Police Unit in Lilongwe is currently under police custody for the offence.
"The officer is currently in custody and has been charged with the offence of sodomy," said Namalenga adding the suspect will appear in court any day.
Namalenga said the sodomised suspect has been given bail while the case is still been investigated.
"We can not condone such behaviour by a police officer that's why we have arrested him, actually this is the first time in the history of police in Malawi to hear that," he said.
Namalenga said after the sodomised suspect told a friend about the issue who then reported it to police.
After the arrest, reports have been emerging that Chiwanda has been doing the act to many suspects but they were not reporting for fear of being punished.
This is the third time within two weeks where Police officers have found themselves in the cooler.
The first case involved 997 Police officers who shot dead a Mchesi driver then another Lilongwe police officer who killed her wife at Falls last week after a heavy fight.

I've just spent some time looking around your blog, which I think is important, and I have a question for you.
Do you not understand the basic imperatives of credibility and citation for actually linking these stories to their original sources? You know, hyperlinks: the thing that makes the web, the web? What's wrong with you?
This is really appalling. You should either attend these basic disciplines or just stop. Really.
What Mr. Beck is trying to say (without caring about whether he is polite about it; that's the way he is) is that what you are doing here would be far more useful and credible if, for each and every story you put up, you include specific and clear references as to where it came from, what the sources are, where it first appeared, and so on. The simplest way of doing that is a link to the newspaper's website where you found the story (if that is where you are finding them).
Without doing this, anybody could just say you're making it all up. And that would lead to a certain loss of credibility of this entire type of story, because that's how people tend to react when something is "discredited".
If you really want to do what you seem to be doing, providing your sources _is_ essential.
This site was started because basically I got pissed off at a police officer when he said that it was rare for a officer to get arrested. So, I began posting stories from around the web, and from TV's Headlines News, my own local news, and so forth. I really don't give a rat's ass if people believe the stories or not. The information is there for those who wish to read about cops gone bad. Same information that I found someone else can find by simply googling officer arrested or officer accused, or by watching the news. If you don't like the way I have presented the information, you don't have to come to this site...ahhh...turn the channel?...you get the idea.
Have a nice day!!

Well, OK, but linking to the source story (about a 5 second job) is still a good idea.
