Chiradzulu, Malawi – June 12, 2025 — A wave of grief and shock has swept through Nsanja Village in Chiradzulu District following the horrific murder of two elderly sisters, Rosibery Time, 73, and Christina Likongwe, 69, who were brutally killed while washing clothes along the Ntanangala River.
The suspect, 22-year-old Maxwell Million, a resident of the same village, has been arrested by Namadzi Police in connection with the killings. The incident occurred on June 10, 2025, in an act that many in the community have described as senseless and deeply disturbing.
According to Chiradzulu Police Public Relations Officer Cosman Kagulo, the sisters were discovered by a passerby who was alarmed by blood stains near a rock along the riverbank.
The gruesome scene revealed one woman with a deep cut to the neck and the other with signs of strangulation and a broken arm.
“Postmortem results revealed that one died due to excessive bleeding while the other died from suffocation,” Kagulo confirmed.
The news has left the village reeling, with many struggling to understand how such brutality could be inflicted—especially upon elderly women known for their kindness and quiet presence in the community.
“This is not just a crime,” said one grieving villager. “It is a sign that we are losing our humanity. How does a young man do this to two helpless grandmothers?”
Million, now in police custody, is expected to undergo a mental assessment before facing court proceedings. While justice may follow, the emotional wounds in Nsanja Village may take far longer to heal.
The murder of Time and Likongwe is a tragic reminder of the deepening cracks in the moral fabric of society. Once a place where elders were revered, communities like Nsanja now grapple with an emerging darkness—one marked by growing apathy, disregard for life, and a chilling erosion of love for fellow human beings.
As the families prepare to lay the sisters to rest, villagers are calling not only for justice but also for soul-searching: What is becoming of us when the most vulnerable among us are no longer safe, even among their own?
