Shocking:Blind Couple Held Over K15,000 Theft
Police in Kabwe have arrested a blind couple for allegedly stealing K15,000 meant for the Blind Skills Farmers’ Club in Serenje.
The police identified the couple as Isaiah Mushota, aged 56, and his wife Doreen Mando, 44, both of Katondo Township in Kabwe.
Central Province Commissioner of Police Standwell Lungu said that the Blind Skills Farmers’ Club was run by the visually impaired and supported by the Ministry of Community Development and Social Welfare.
The two were leaders in the farmers’ club at the time they allegedly stole the money before fleeing from Serenje.
Mr Lungu said investigations revealed that the money (K15,000) was deposited in June this year through Finance Bank in Serenje into the club’s account but it was later withdrawn by Mushota from Lusaka.
The couple is suspected to have taken advantage of their positions in the club, where Mushota was chairperson and his wife treasurer, to access the funds illegally.
Mr Lungu said the couple had been on the run for a while but was finally apprehend yesterday in Katondo area and would be charged with theft.
