INKTECK managing director Matthew Mohan has been recaptured, Police spokesperson Bonny Kapeso has confirmed. In an interview earlier today, Kapeso said Mohan was recaptured on Sunday morning within Lusaka and that he was currently in police custody.

“Yes I can confirm that Mohan has been recaptured here in Lusaka by the Zambia Police officers,” he said. “He is now in custody and in cuffs.”

Mohan escaped from police custody about two weeks ago after appearing in court.

On the day he escaped, Mohan had appeared before Lusaka Magistrate Mwaka Mikalile on another charge.

After the court appearance, Mohan who was in the company of a prosecutor was left alone at Ridgeway Police post from where he escaped.

Police in Lusaka last month picked and arrested Mohan in connection with the murder of Cyclone Hardware director Sajid Itowala.

Sources disclosed that Mohan was picked up on August 3, 2009 to help with investigations in Itowala’s murder.

When contacted for a comment, police spokesperson Bonny Kapeso confirmed Mohan’s arrest but could not give further details.

The sources said police were investigating Mohan on charges of accessory and complicity to Itowala’s murder.

The sources disclosed that three other people apart from Mohan had also been arrested to help with investigations.

The sources added that police were investigating armed robbery and abduction charges, which led to the murder of Itowala.
