Police in Lilongwe are keeping in custody Wilson Chisiza, 44, for allegedly defiling a 15 year old girl who is also of unsound mind.

It is reported that the mentally challenged victim escaped from home and in November this year she was spotted by her grandmother coming from Chisiza’s house at Kaphiri.

When the victim was taken home she revealed that she had been having intercourse with the suspect from 2019 when he was their neighbour at Chadza village.

The victim was referred to Kamuzu Central Hospital where she was examined and also tested HIV positive.

Chisiza will appear in court soon to answer the charge of defilement.

Wilson Chisiza hails from Malawanya village Traditional Authority Kwataine in Ntcheu district.

In a related development, police are hunting for four men who are suspected of defiling a 13 year old girl in Chinsapo Township.
