Nselema Police in Machinga district is keeping in custody a 20 year old Jasiya Laimoni “a person born with Albinism” for allegedly defiling his 8 year old cousin which is contrary to section 138 of the Penal code.

 

Both the victim and the suspect were staying together alongside the grandmother to the victim.

 

And on 17th June, 2019, the victim’s grandmother left for Mowele village leaving the two alone in the house.

Results from Chikweo Health centre proved that the girl was indeed defiled.

 

Meanwhile, the suspect is in custody pending court proceedings
