We haven’t released the suspect of defilement; Police clarify after mother to the victim went viral claiming that the 17-year-old who allegedly defiled her two daughters, one aged 9 and the other 10 was set free by the police.
Deputy Police Public Relations Officer Danny Mwale said the suspect was initially detained at Emmasdale Police Station and later transferred to Ngwerere Police Station where the case was reported.
He said this in a statement issued to the media today.
“Contrary to what is circulating on various social media platforms where the mother to the victims is heard talking about the release of the suspect from Police Custody, the fact is that the suspect was initially apprehended and detained at Emmasdale Police Station. He was later transferred to Ngwerere Police Station where the case is being handled,” he said.
