29-year-old Bellingtone Tsadzulani arrested for abducting and defiling a 16-year-old girl in Lilongwe.

The suspect lured the girl with a false promise of reuniting her with her mother in Mozambique, only to secretly keep her as his second wife in a rented house at Sabwe Trading Centre.

The community reported the case to the police, who arrested Tsadzulani after a manhunt and rescued the victim.

Medical examination revealed that the girl had also contracted sexually transmitted diseases.

Additionally, the police apprehended two of Tsadzulani’s suspected accomplices in robbery cases.
