The vice president of Malawi (a country in southeast Africa), Saulos Chilima, recently died in a plane crash as reported this Tuesday by the country's president, Dr. Lazarus Chakwera:
The plane disappeared while en route to Mzuzu airport in Malawi
Nine other people were traveling with Chilima. All of them died after the plane heading to Mzuzu airport disappeared without a trace. This caused an investigation to be initiated so that the Malawi Defense Forces could locate the aircraft that, according to Chakwera in statements collected by CNN, they found this Tuesday:
The aircraft, explained the president of Malawi, was found "completely destroyed" in the Chikangawa forest: "Words cannot describe how heartbreaking this is," he added while announcing the rest of the victims.
