A 15-year-old girl in Chipata District of Eastern Province has allegedly been defiled by five men she was drinking beer with.
Eastern Province Police Commissioner Robertson Mweemba confirmed the incident, saying it happened on 26th November 2025 around 22:00 hours in the Mwami Border Trading Area.
The girl was drinking beer at a bar with the five men, and when they noticed that she was drunk, they offered to escort her home. However, along the way, the men allegedly took advantage of her.
A concerned member of the public later found the girl lying on the roadside and informed her parents and a neighbourhood watch member, who later reported the matter to the police.
Mr. Mweemba said the victim was given a police medical report form, and a docket has been opened.
He also confirmed that two suspects, Teness Phiri, aged 18, and Lufelo Fadnad, aged 25, have been arrested, while police are still looking for the remaining suspects who are on the run.
