Four suspects Lufeyo Mphimbi, Samalani Jabu, Eric Mwandira and Sabita Mwale have been charged with being found with human body parts and supplying human body tissues which is contrary to Section 16 of the Malawian Anatomy Act.

The Lilongwe Magistrate Court has set Monday, 17 June, 2013 as the ruling day for the case involving the four suspected of removing and vending private body parts.

All the four state witnesses who were available at the court on Tuesday testified that indeed there was a dead human body without its private parts.

The defence lawyer, asked the court not to use pictures taken and the private parts as evidence arguing it is against the Malawian culture to show private parts in public.

In response, Judge Patrick Chirwa said there is no section in the constitution of the Republic of Malawi that could be applied to the request.

"With due respect to your request, the state has the right to show the pictures and the body tissues to the court as part of their evidence. However, there is no constitutional provision that denies this so the state may proceed," explained Chirwa.
