A six year old girl of Nchelenge has been defiled by a juvenile aged 18 who followed her to the toilet and had carnal knowledge of her.

And when the victim went back home she decided not to disclose to anyone what happened to her.

The victim did not explain anything to her parents until the next day when she was found in the toilet bleeding from her private parts.

Luapula province commanding officer Gloria Mulele said the incident happened yesterday around 18:00 hours and the suspect is in police custody.

“As the victim was going to the toilet which is behind their house around 18:00 hours, the suspect walked out of an unfinished house behind the toilet and followed the victim in the toilet. He covered her mouth and pulled her to the unfinished house where he defiled her and when the victim went back home she did not tell anyone. The victim went to the toilet this morning and took a long time to return and her aunt sent the victim’s cousin to follow her,”she said.

Ms Mulele said the victim was found bleeding with some blood clots on her private parts.

She said a few minutes later the juvenile revealed that she was defiled.
