40-Year-Old Chipata Man Defiles His 4-Year-Old Biological Daughter
Police in Chipata have launched a widespread search for a 40-year-old man accused of defiling his own four-year-old biological daughter in a case that has sent shockwaves through the local community.
The Eastern Province Police Commissioner, Mr. Robertson Mweemba, confirmed that the incident is alleged to have occurred on October 1, 2025, within Chief Chikuwe’s chiefdom. The crime was reported to police by the victim’s mother.
According to the police report, the incident unfolded when the mother briefly left her home to visit a neighbor’s house to purchase beans for planting. Upon her return, she made a distressing discovery.
“She found her husband, identified as Nyirenda, carrying their crying daughter,” Commissioner Mweemba stated. “The child was half-naked, with her dress raised, as they were coming out from a thatched kitchen.”
Acting immediately, the mother took the child and conducted a check, during which she discovered suspicious whitish fluids on the girl. She then confronted her husband about what had transpired.
Police reports indicate that Nyirenda initially denied any wrongdoing. However, his response escalated dramatically when his wife persisted with her questions.
“The suspect later stated that if she continued to ask him the same thing, he was going to do it again,” Commissioner Mweemba recounted. “He allegedly claimed that the child was his and that no one could stop him or arrest him.”
Following this confrontation, the suspect fled the area. A police docket has been officially opened, and an intensive investigation has been instituted to locate and apprehend the fugitive.
“No arrest has been made yet, but our officers are actively pursuing all leads to bring this culprit to book,” Commissioner Mweemba assured the public. He urged anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts to come forward and assist the police in their investigation.
