An official inquiry into the plane crash that claimed the life of Malawi's vice-president, Saulos Chilima, six months ago ruled foul play. Findings released on Saturday (Dec 14) have determined that bad weather and human error caused the tragedy, putting to rest suspicions of foul play raised by Chilima's party, the United Transformation Movement (UTM).

On June 10, Chilima, 51, was en route to a funeral alongside Shanil Dzimbiri, a former first lady, when the plane went down in dense fog near Mzuzu, 370 kilometres north of Lilongwe. The military aircraft crashed in cloudy and windy conditions, killing all on board
