A two-year-old baby has been defiled and infected with diseases by its biological father in Chibombo District, Ten Miles area.

The suspect has since been arrested by police for the offences of incest and defilement.

Zambia Police Deputy Public Relations Officer Danny Mwale says the man was caught having canal knowledge of his two-year-old biological daughter on two different occasions this month.

And the Zambia National Men’s Network for Gender and Development National Coordinator Nelson Banda is saddened over the rise in cases of incest.

Mr. Banda says mothers of children who are victims should not shield their husbands but report such cases to police.
