Thugs attack head teacher’s wife in Chikwawa

Police in Chikwawa are looking for unknown thugs who stormed into a school compound and assaulted and seriously injured head teacher’s wife at Suweni Primary School in the district.

According to spokesperson for Chikwawa Police Station Foster Benjamin, the thugs attacked the woman after failing to locate her husband from the house.

Benjamin said the thugs had earlier accused the head teacher Paul Chagwaluso of flirting with other men’s wives. He was away on official duties on that particular night.

“On that particular night, at about 20:00 hours, the assailants approached the woman, Rhoda Timothy, demanding that she brings out her husband. When she told them that he was not around, they descended on her, hacking her on both her left hand and shoulder and later escaped after she shouted for help,” he explained.

Benjamin further said prior to the incident, there had been series of anonymous warning letters directed to the head teacher and some of his subordinates.

“In the letters, the head teacher and some members of staff were told to vacate the school as they were allegedly flirting with other men’s wives,” he added.

Police are therefore appealing to members of the public to bring forth any information that will lead to the arrest of the assailants.
