Kawale Police is keeping in custody a 21-year old Man, Limbani Mtukula for having sexual intercourse with a 15 -year-old girl (name withheld) which is contrary to Section 138 of Penal Code.
It is recorded that the suspect and the victim were staying in the same compound in Chipasula location.
Furthermore, it has been discovered that the two were in a secret relationship which was lately discovered by her Aunt due to her behavior change and her possession of the cellphone from undisclosed source.
The Aunt further involved other neighbors who further informed her that they have been seeing the victim coming out of the suspect’s house several times.
This made the Aunt to gather courage and report the case to Kawale Police, seeing all this the girl run away from Chipasula to her biological parents in Mzimba but the parents being aware of the incident, reported the issue at Chambo Police Unit in Mzimba where referral letter was issued and have medical tests which come out positive of penetration.
The same results were relayed to Kawale Police detectives hence his subsequent arrest.
