Phiri said investigation has shown that Benson started sleeping with the child in 2023.
“The suspect used to send his wife for farming during rainy season creating an environment suitable for him to have sexual intercourse with the child.
“In February, 2025 the victim realized that she was pregnant of his step father and decided to reveal the ordeal to her mother. Further, a report was formerly made at Area 24 Police Unit where detectives swiftly arrested the suspect,” he said.
Benson, who hails from Khoswe Village, Traditional Authority Kalolo in Lilongwe District, will appear in court soon after completion of paper work.
