Four Chinese nationals arrested in Luanshya last week and charged with defiling Zambian girls, have been denied bail.
Magistrate Chitundu Kalungu says the accused are free to apply for bail at the High Court pending trial set on December 5.
A defence lawyer from Nkana Chambers applied for bail on behalf his clients submitted that the accused persons are of fixed abode and granting them bail will not in any way prejudice the prosecution.
The lawyer says in the bail application that his clients are willing to abide by all the conditions which the court has put in place.
Last week nine under-age girls alleged that they were sexually abused by the four Chinese in exchange for money.
The accused appeared in court on Monday this week, charged with defilement.
Copperbelt Deputy Police Commissioner Milner Muyambango says the number of girls who were allegedly defiled has reduced to seven from the initial nine.
Mr. Muyambango has explained that the police have no evidence that the other two girls were sexually abused.

****** fool police, how can you tell if the girls where sexually abused? is there any course like that at lilayi. illiterate police. you needed to refer kids to hospital and psychologists to check them. once a woman takes a shower, its done. you cant tell. this it a week since it happened and these guys have bathed more than 7 times and menstruated where possible. only hospital and psychologists can help in this case. this was supposed to be done as quickly as possible. i don’t blame you, i blame your 6 months running at lilayi, the only training in 30 years of your service.

No evidence! Just say you have destroyed the evidence to justify releasing them. Why would you keep them if you have absolutely no evidence? otherwise they will sue you for wrongfull arest.

Hey you danderheads siding with the chinese, why are you blaming under aged zambian children? You are so full of it ‘SH!T’ typical african danderheads indeed! You Id!ots stop blaming 9 year olds whos inocence have been damaged by foreign sexual criminals! What more evidence do you need than 9 yrs olds complaining of being sexual abused by those dogs in exchange for ‘peanuts’ in a poverty stricken country? Would you have rather the girls have kept the scum for you to smell? CAGE THOSE CHINESE DOGS before the rape more of our young ones… watch VIDEO on Youtube “20 YRS OLD GIRL LOOKING FOR CHINESE BABY DADDY” and see just how manipulative those dog munchers are! They drive after school girls in uniforms and lure them into sex under the pretext of helping them.
These dogs should be caged for at least 25yrs each with hard labour!!!

You are right Puppets, the Idiots should be caged because thats where they belong. The police need not fail us on this one because many are the Zambians waiting on the results of this case so as to see what happens if its a Chinese and not a Zambian who has done it. The Idiots need to be taught to fear our young ones…

Obviously you can’t find any evidence, when a woman has sex, her vagina swells and starts becoming normal after sex and by 48hrs, the vagina is back to normal. So even if one washes a gynecologist can determine if there was any activity but only b4 48hrs, so the police has no proof so let the china boys go

Sexual offences are many: rape, indecent assault, sexual harassment, incest, etc. Defilement is defilement. The perpetrator cannot defend himself by saying the victim was paid or was already having sex. Age is the only factor here. However, when defilent takes place, the victim must report to the police immediately, given a medical form and then examined by a doctor at a hospital. It is advisable the victim does not take a bath and completes this process within 48 hours. Give the police the medical report but keep a copy so that they cannot say “We have no evidence”. Good luck to the girls and let justice be done.

We are not going to accept any acquittal. Get the best prosecutor and enure that the conviction is attained. Or else we shall lose trust in you the police and better release all those in jail for mere touching of a female body(indecent assault)

My fellow Zambians, Let us handle this issue with dignity and respect to whom it is due. We are a Christian Nation! insults are not a solution to this problem but ensuring to it that the rule of law is upheld in this matter for the betterment of our judicial system. Let us wait for the final verdict on this crime so that both the judiciary and the whole wings of government can exculpate themselves on the basis of justice and moral integrity of our beloved mother Zambia. God bless you as you read this prophetic comment

You people learn to analyse things even from the short clip shown pa ZNBC one can tell that those guys were not jst been dragged by toku toku and chuku chuku the only innoncent girl ni umo fye the on who narrated the story pa first and not the others those girls are into illicit sex at a very tender age someone should jst council the chaps. The girls mentioned to say the money which ws given to them they use dit to buy cooking, mealie meal etc. Now the question here is who do those girls stay with? and again if that was the first arrangement how did the know the defilers names? No one is defending the chinese at all.
