Malawi’s Mzimba man on run for allegedly defiling sister-in-law

MZUZU-(MaraviPost)-Malawi Police in Mzimba are looking for a man who is currently at large for allegedly defiling a 15 year old sister-in-law.

According to Mzimba Police Station Deputy Publist, Sub Inspector John Nyirongo, the man, is identified as Jeremaya Mphande, working under the Ministry of Information.

The report further says, on 27 of this month, at around 3 pm, the suspect’s sister, who is Mphande’s wife, went to a village bank meeting leaving at home her sister, who is now the victim and the suspect, her husband. On her way back, she found the two making love inside the main bedroom. The wife immediately locked the main door and rushed to police to report the matter.

But when police went to the house, they found that the suspect had already escaped and was since nowhere to be seen.

The victim underwent a medical assessment which indicated that she was indeed defiled.

Mphande works as an information officer under the ministry of information in Mzimba.
