The Malawi High Court on Thursday convicted former Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister, Raphael Kasambara, for attempting to murder the country’s former Budget Director, Paul Mphwiyo, in 2013.
The court found the former minister and two others, Pika Manondo and Macdonald Kumwembe, guilty of conspiracy to murder and also found the other two guilty of attempted murder.
The attempted murder of the former director took place on the night of Aug. 13, 2013 at the gates of his residence in Lilongwe.
Mphwiyo was shot three times at close range as he awaited the opening of the gate.
