Warrant of arrest issued against �blood sucker�

Police suspect the Jowa intended to kill the boy and drink his blood. The accused allegedly believed the boy was a witch, police have said.

After Jowa failed to appear in court yesterday, Sergeant Mbatshi told Basupi that he did not know the reasons for the absence and said the accused was aware of the court date. “The accused was granted bail last week. He knows that he was supposed to be in court today. We therefore apply for a warrant of arrest to be issued against him. The prosecution is still waiting for the accused’s psychiatric report. May another mention date be set,” said Mafa. At the end of the brief mention, Basupi set the matter for further mention on March 22 or as soon as Jowa is arrested.
