The law enforcers are always the ones who are fond of breaking them so as Police in Chitipa on Monday arrested the district station operation officer, Superintendent Mussa Kumwenda for defiling a 16 year old girl.

According to source, the suspect was in unreachable state as his position covered him until the Mzuzu based police officer arrested him.

The superintendent took advantage of the absence of his wife at home to defile the girl who he was living with as his niece.

The junior police officers in the district confessed that they failed to arrest him in the first place.

“Our operations officer has been indeed arrested over defilement case. We were aware of this since last week but we were afraid to arrest him because of his position and power.

“It was the Mzuzu based senior police who arrested him and as I am talking he is in our custody. The development has made the junior police officers here in the district to celebrate especially because of the way the suspect was treating them,” said source.

According to the police, the suspect is expected to appear before the court soon to answer defilement charges as hospital report shows that the girl was indeed defiled.
