Former Chipolopolo Player Convicted Of Defilement

FORMER Zambia national football team midfielder Duddley Fichite has been convicted of defilement.

This is in a matter where Fichite, 35, a staff sergeant of Arakan Barracks, allegedly had carnal knowledge of his ten-year-old niece in Kamwala South whom he infected with HIV and syphilis in December 2014.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge, but four prosecution witnesses testified against him and the former Chipolopolo player was found with a case to answer.
Passing judgment yesterday, Lusaka magistrate Betty Malupenga said the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.
Magistrate Malupenga said it was not in dispute that the victim was below the age of 16. She said during trial, the victim’s grandmother testified that the girl was diagnosed with HIV and syphilis after she came back from Fichite’s home in Lusaka where she had gone for a holiday.
Magistrate Malupenga also said it was the victim’s testimony in court that Fichite had sex with her several times while she was on holiday. She said a medical report indicated that the girl had the said diseases although her hymen was not damaged.
“I see no reason as to why the prosecutrix would want to implicate the accused and why she would pick on him out of all the men. I find that it was [the] accused who had sex with the victim and not any other person,” magistrate Malupenga said.
She found Fichite guilty of defilement and convicted him accordingly. Magistrate Malupenga also committed the convict to the High Court for sentencing as the jail term attracted a minimum of 15 years. Fichite, who was on a K10,000 bail, would be remanded in custody until he is sentenced.

    I will be interested to see how the High Court will handle this case. for me, it leaves a lot of doubts. How many ways are there of transmitting HIV. Is Fichite Himself HIV positive? It will be tricky if he is, if not, he has a chance of disputing the conviction.
