Malawian minister kills himself

A Malawian minister has killed himself, police say, as results are still awaited from Tuesday's general elections.
Outgoing deputy Local Government Minister Godfrey Kamanya shot himself in his home, according to police.
His spokesman denied reports that his suicide was linked to him apparently losing his parliamentary seat.
Official results have not yet been declared in what was expected to be a tight presidential race.
Reporters in Malawi says the electronic counting system has broken down in some areas and votes are being collated manually in these places, according to BBC.
