MALAWIAN police are holding a man, (39) for trying to sell his own two-year-old daughter for R8000. Lapukeni Kaluwanje took his daughter, Miriam, to a trading centre where she was bought by a businessman, James Muliwa, who handed her over to police. Muliwa told police that he bought the child in order to rescue her from the likelihood of a life of abuse. The unusual salesman was later arrested at his village and is being interrogated about his bizarre activities and possible connection to a paedophile ring.
