Police have arrested two men from Chipata District believed to be witchdoctors after being found with 1 million Kwacha cash that was smeared with blood.
Confirming the arrest in Mongu, Western Province Police Commanding Officer Fanwell Siandenge said the two were arrested last Wednesday.
Mr. Siandenge identified the two as Edward Phiri 29 and Harry Mwale also aged 29 both known as Dr. Kapalamula of Chipata District.
