Police in Kawale have arrested 21-year-old Limbani Mtukula on suspicion of having slept with a 15-year-old girl.

Kawale police spokesperson Sub Inspector Precious Mavuto Phiri said the two were on good terms until the girl’s aunt was surprised by the property the girl was found with as a phone.

This is where the aunt’s neighbors told them that they had seen the girl leaving the boy’s house in Chipasula several times.

This is when he reported to Kawale police and the girl fled to Mzimba to her parents.

When the parents heard about this, they took the girl to the hospital where it was confirmed that she had been raped, and this is what led the police to arrest Limbani.

Mr Phiri said the boy, who is from Masasa in Ntcheu, will appear in court where he will answer the case.
