BLANTYRE, Malawi (AP) - A judge ordered Malawi's vice president released on bail Monday, nearly three weeks after he was arrested on treason charges for allegedly plotting to assassinate President Bingu wa Mutharika.
But Judge Charles Mkandawire ordered Cassim Chilumpha confined to his official residence until the conclusion of his trial.
The judge also granted bail to two alleged accomplices, businessman Yusuf Mtumula and Rashid Tembo.
