"It is a tragedy that homophobic threats and abuse have forced this couple apart,"

One half of Malawi gay couple 'moves in with a woman'

A gay couple who were jailed in Malawi have split after one of them moved in with a woman, according to reports.

Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga were sentenced to 14 years' hard labour in May, then freed following international condemnation. The pair were warned they faced re-arrest if they continued their relationship.

But Monjeza told Malawi's Nation newspaper that he had been coerced into the gay relationship, and was now with a woman named Dorothy Gulo.
