IN**ST CASE UNCOVERED AT U.T.H CANCER DISEASE HOSPITAL
A disturbing case of in**st has come to light at the University Teaching Hospital's (U.T.H) cancer disease hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. According to a report filed by Kabwata Police Station on March 11, 2025, a 47-year-old man, Cornhill Habowa, has been accused of sexually abusing his 7-year-old daughter, who is a patient at the hospital.
The abuse allegedly occurred while Habowa was bathing his daughter, with other patients' relatives noticing that he would often bathe her around 10 pm, and the child would cry out in distress. Furthermore, it's alleged that Habowa was seen bathing with his daughter, with both of their clothes hanging on the bathroom door.
The hospital's medical staff were alerted to the situation, and upon examining the child, they discovered fresh cuts on her private parts, confirming the sexual abuse. A social welfare officer, Sandra Ndhlovu, reported the incident to the police, leading to Habowa's arrest and detention.
Habowa has been formally charged with in**st and is currently in police custody, awaiting his court appearance. The Zambia Police Service is handling the case, with Rae Hamoonga, Police Public Relations Officer, confirming the details of the incident
