The High Court in Mzuzu will tomorrow, deliver its ruling on whether 6 people suspected to have had a hand in the murder of about 30 Ethiopian nationals have a case to answer or not.
Bodies of the 30 Ethiopian nationals were found buried in a mass grave inside Mtangatanga forest in Mzimba district in October, 2022.
Following the discovery of the bodies, 6 people were arrested in connection to their murder and the state opened a case of aggravated manslaughter and human trafficking against the suspects.
However, when they appeared before the court the accused pleaded not guilty prompting the state to parade witnesses in a quest to prove the case.
Earlier this year, the case was adjourned for both the state and the defense to provide to the court written submissions.
Meanwhile, according to a court document MIJOnline has seen, the case returns for the court to make a ruling on whether the accused have a case to answer or not.
The six accused are Tadikira Mafubza step son to former president Peter Mutharika, Samuel Navaya, Duncan Kalulu, David Luhanga, Thomas Kazembe and Boniface Nguluwe.
