17 YEAR OLD ALLEGEDLY RAPES AND GRUESOMELY MURDERS HIS 27 YEAR OLD AUNTIE

A 27-year-old woman of Kabulamwanda area, Choobwa Village, Chief Mungaila, in Namwala District of Southern Province, has allegedly been r***d and gruesomely murdered by her 17-year-old husband’s nephew of the same area.

According to Southern Province Police Commissioner Auxensio Daka, the matter was reported by the deceased’s husband, aged 29.

Police reports indicate that on the day of the incident, around 07:00 hours, the husband left home for work, leaving behind his wife, their one year old daughter, and his two nephews, aged 17 and 13, who live in a separate house within the same yard.

Upon returning home around 12:40 hours, the husband found the main house door unlocked and discovered his wife lying in a pool of blood, half-dressed. An axe and a pounding stick, both stained with blood, were found beside her body.

Mr. Daka stated that police officers visited the scene and confirmed the report. The body of the deceased had multiple deep cuts on the head and signs of sexual assault. A trail of blood was observed leading from the main house to the house where the two nephews sleep.

Inside that house, officers found blood-stained clothes suspected to belong to the 17-year-old juvenile, along with a tight-fitting undergarment (cycling short) belonging to the deceased.

Preliminary investigations further revealed that the suspect went to school in the morning but later complained of feeling unwell and was allowed to return home around 10:00 hours. It is alleged that it was during this time that he returned home and committed the offence.

The body of the deceased has since been deposited at Namwala District Hospital Mortuary, awaiting a postmortem examination.

A case docket has been opened, and a manhunt for the suspect, who is currently on the run, has been launched.

Nyimba Town Council has successfully gunned down One Hundred and Six Dogs in the district.

The exercise is aimed at reducing the number of stray dogs in the district as well as preventing the spread of rabies from the dogs to human beings.

In April this year, the Local Authority had recorded a rabies case at the hospital where officers were deployed and carried out the sensitization program in various wards of the district to curb the further spread of the disease.

The exercise was conducted for a period of five days and the wards that were covered during the sensitization exercise include Ngozi, Msima, Lwezi, Nyimba Central and Chamilala wards.

The dog destruction exercise is an on-going program as the Local Authority remains committed to ensuring that the spread of rabies in the district is prevented at all cost.

This latest exercise forms part of a continuous rabies control program in the district.

This is in accordance with the Dog Act Chapter 247 and its subsidiary regulations which require the removal of unregistered, unvaccinated and or stray dogs to prevent the spread of rabies in the district.
