A 17-year-old female grade 10 pupil of Lusaka has been raped by a 31-year-old taxi driver of Lusaka’s Zingalume compound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Police Deputy Public Relations Officer, Danny Mwale, the victim was given a lift by the suspect, George Banda, while on her way to school in Zingalume on February 17, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Mwale says moments later, Banda changed the direction of his motor vehicle and drove to an isolated area of Meanwood Township where he, allegedly, gave the victim alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says since the car had been parked for a long time the sight drew suspicion among residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The residents’ closer inspection revealed the suspect and the victim naked in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The juvenile was found bleeding and her uniform was torn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The alarmed onlookers reported the matter to the police and officers were dispatched to the scene where Banda’s Toyota Vitz, bearing registration number, BAV 7745, was impounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspect is yet to be charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
