Chitipa Police Spokesperson, Sub-Inspector Gladwell Simwaka said the incident occurred on Saturday, at around 9:00 hours at Chisansu in the area of Senior Chief Mwenemisuku.
Simwaka said it is alleged that on this material day, Kayange coaxed the girl into her parents’ home when she was left alone by her parents to prepare food for the family.

“The suspect asked the girl to have sex with him because his wife is now old for him, and that he would give her K100,000 for the deal.
