Muchinga Province Police Commissioner Lizzy Machina confirmed the development to Chete FM and named the suspect as Taona Namwalizi.

The incident happened on Sunday evening when the suspect reportedly requested the boy to escort her to collect debt within the village.

She said the boy got drunk and by the time he woke up, he found the woman on top on him.

The boy shouted for help and two people came to his rescue,” Machina said.

The boy is said to have sustained bruises around his genitals.
