“She then dragged one boy to a nearby bathroom where she ordered him to undress and have sexual intercourse,”
“The suspect had ordered the victim not to reveal to anyone threatening him of unspecified action,” he said.
Kandiado said it is reported that the woman had taken advantage of her husbands absence who had gone to attend a funeral ceremony.
“The other day, mother to the victim had discovered that the boy had difficulties in walking, a development that prompted her to find out,”
“The boy then spilled the beans to his mother saying the suspect had forced him to have carnal knowledge with him,” he said.
The victim was then sent to Kamwendo police unit before being referred to Mchinji District Hospital where after diagnosis, he was found with sexually transmitted infection.
During interrogation, the suspect had admitted that she had had sexual intercourse with the teenager but said it was out of influence of Satan.
