Man arrested for defiling stepdaughter

Police in Ntchisi are keeping in custody Joseph Tomasi, 21, for allegedly defiling his eight-year-old stepdaughter.

Ntchisi police spokesperson Gladson M’bumpha said in a statement investigations have revealed that the suspect used to sleep in the main house while the victim and her younger sister slept in the kitchen.

“It is alleged that on the night of the incident the suspect called the victim to sleep in the main house since her mother had gone to a funeral within the village. The suspect took advantage of this and defiled the girl,” he said.

M’bumpha said the mother became suspicious as such she took her daughter to Malomo Health Centre for medical examination where it was revealed that the girl had been defiled.

“Tomasi will appear before a court of law to answer the charge of defilement,” said M’bumpha.
