RUSTENBURG - Former Malawian presidential aide Norman Chisale has been cleared of attempted murder charges on Friday, Malawi media reported.
Chisale was accused of shooting Sigele Amani on May 20 last year in Blantyre. At the time, he was the bodyguard to former president Peter Mutharika, news website Malawi24 reported.
Judge Sylvester Kalembera discharged him at the Lilongwe High Court, stating that the State had failed to provide evidence that Chisale intended to kill Amani.
Police detective Henry Malange told the court that Chisale had first been charged with accidental shooting, but the charge was amended to attempted murder based on the way the gun had been used.
