Thyolo police spokesperson, Rabecca Kashoti, said the girl claims has been defiled since January 2024 before the uncle was caught on December 27 last year.

“His wife caught him while coming from the victim’s bedroom at midnight and later confronted the girl who revealed the whole sexual ordeal with the uncle….the matter was reported to Makwasa police unit who have now arrested him after medical examinations results came out positive,” Kashoti alleges.
