Malawi: An unknown male pedestrian has been discovered dead in the middle of the Nkhata-Bay-Mzuzu M5 in the Kalambwe area, 2 kilometres from Nkhata Bay Boma.

Sergeant Kondwani James, a spokesman for Nkhata-Bay Police, confirmed this to AfricaBrief, saying the body was discovered in the early hours of August 31, 2022.

Meanwhile, police have opened an investigation into a hit-and-run car accident.

According to preliminary investigation, the pedestrian was drunk and staggered into the road before being run over by a speeding vehicle that the police have yet to identify.
