COPPERBELT Police chief Mary Tembo
POLICE in Kitwe are looking for three brothers who allegedly ‘gang raped’ their sister-in-law at a farm near Zambia National Service camp.
Copperbelt police commissioner Mary Tembo confirmed the incident which happened last Thursday.
Ms Tembo said the woman, 36, was in bed with her husband which her brothers-in-law stormed and beat up her husband before gang raping her.
“The suspects are cousins to the woman’s husband. From the information we have, it shows that the two families quarrelled in the day but in the night these three brothers went to the house of their cousin, beat him up and then took turns in raping his wife,” said Ms Tembo.
The trio is hiding.
The suspect’s father is in Police custody to help with investigations.
“We are holding the father to the suspects because he is also connected to the whole confusion which erupted between the two families. We want him to help us with the investigations over this incident,” Ms Tembo said.
“What happened is inhuman, you cannot rape a woman on account that you differed with her husband who is also your own blood. We will make sure that these people are arrested. Kitwe, Copperbelt and even Zambia will soon become too small for them, we will find them wherever they are hiding,” Ms Tembo said.
