Zambia police in Ndola have arrested a 31-year-old man of Kantolomba in Twapia Township for slicing his wife’s private parts using a kitchen knife.

Copperbelt province commissioner of police Elias Chushi said Nicholas Malama of 23 Kantolomba area unlawfully wounded his 32- year-old wife after he found her busy chatting with her friends.

He said the victim sustained a deep laceration on her private parts.

“A domestic knife was allegedly used to inflict the injury. Brief facts are that when Malama went home to have lunch but instead did not eat because his wife was busy at her friend’s house chatting. Then he called his wife home. When she got inside the house, he pushed to the floor and stabbed her on her private parts,” he said.

He said a medical report has since been issued to the victim.
