One of the vehicles in the convoy of the late Malawian Vice President, Saulos Chilima’s funeral procession has killed four mourners and injured no fewer than 12 persons.

It was gathered that thousands of mourners had lined up in the streets to catch a glimpse of the vice president’s coffin when the incident happened.


The spokesman of the Malawian police, Peter Kalaya confirmed the incident in a statement on Monday morning.


“Due to the impact, two female and two male pedestrians sustained severe head injuries and multiple fractures and died whilst receiving treatment,” said a police statement.
