The High Court in Lilongwe has granted a bail to 13 police officers who were arrested in connection with the murder of Buleya Lule, a suspect, who died in police custody.
One of the lawyers in the case Enoch Chibwana confirmed the development but said the 13, including Commissioner of Police Evalista Chisale, are still in custody as the court will have to assess their sureties on Monday.

The court had granted the bail on conditions that each suspect should produce two sureties, each surety bonded at 500 hundred thousand kwacha non cash.
The suspects have also been asked to surrender travel documents and not to leave Lilongwe without informing the commissioner of police and report once every fortnight to police.
