Mzimba police spokesman  sergeant Peter Botha identified the suspect as Maxwell Shonga who is being kept in custody at the station awaiting court proceedings

“The suspect took advantage of the absence of the mother who was not at home that’s when he dragged the girl and defiled her during the night”,said sergeant Botha

Sergeant Botha said the girl whose name has been withheld did not reveal her ordeal until two weeks later  when she told her mother everything.

The mother reported the matter to police who picked Shonga and charged him with the offence of defilement

In a related development the police in the same district have in custody Chandiwira Mumba aged 29 who is alleged to have defiled a 4 year old  girl in the area of Inkosi Mzukuzuku last Sunday.

Sergeant Botha said the mother of the child had gone to fetch water from a borehole when the incident happened

Mumba who comes from Chimkusa village in the area of Inkosi Mmbelwa was then apprehended and handed over to police who charged him with the offence of defilement.
