A Seven (7) year old girl of Kitwe’s Kamakonde area was, on 23rd January 2023, left with a bruised forehead, cut on the upper lip, a loose tooth, swollen hands and legs, and general body pains by her 35-year mother, Neddy Chisenga, for visiting her grandmother.
Being in bad books with her mother, Ms. Chisenga failed to come to terms with her daughter visiting the grandmother, Bertha Kyatabankana.
Ms. Chisenga, who is also a businesswoman, hit her daughter with an iron bar before locking her up in the house as she went about her daily business routine.
The victim was found in a bad state by her aunt Maureen Mumba who later took her to her brother’s place before the matter was reported to the police.
Confirming the matter to Diamond News, Copperbelt Police Commanding Officer, Peacewell Mweemba, says the child was taken to Kalulushi General Hospital where she was admitted while the mother was apprehended.
