Mob Batters Chipata Defiler
A Chipata man in his late 50s was battered by a mob for allegedly defiling two minors in Mchini Township.
The incident happened on Wednesday afternoon when the man identified as Katusi Katusi took advantage of the minors in unclear circumstances.
Mr Katusi was dragged to the police station by the residents after battering him.
Eastern Province Commissioner of Police Grace Chipalila confirmed receiving the report of defilement in an interview yesterday in Chipata.
“Yes we have received the report of a man who allegedly defiled the minors but we are yet to know the circumstances. I will give a detailed report later,” Ms Chipalila said.
And Zambia Police has recorded 8,699 cases of Gender Based Violence (GBV) countrywide since January this year.
This came to light during a three-day Women in Law in Southern Africa (WILSA) research and education trust multi – sectoral training in GBV case management workshop in Chipata yesterday.
Police Inspector Achaje Magai said in his presentation on GBV that 4,496 cases were reported in the first quarter and 4,203 in the second quarter this year.
He said this year, 8,699 cases have so far been reported.
He said cases of GBV are under reported due to difficulties in disclosure and disaggregated documentation of information.
Mr Magai said there is need for the police to foster public confidence by continuing to provide protection of victims of GBV as well as establishing the Anti GBV fund.
