Mazabuka Man Rapes Mother

A MAZABUKA man is on the run after allegedly raping his mother on Monday.
Southern Province police commissioner Charity Katanga said in an interview that Jameson Kapulwe of Apollo Compound allegedly raped his mother Justina Phiri on Monday morning in the house they lived in.
Katanga said according to a statement given to the police by Phiri’s daughter Esther Kapulwe, Jameson was found naked and having carnal knowledge of his mother in her bedroom where he had followed her.
She said upon finding Jameson in the act with his mother who is believed to have been in a drunken state, Esther quickly shouted for help so that neighbours could come to her mother’s rescue.
Katanga said that when Esther returned to the house in the company of neighbours, she found that Jameson had fled, leaving their mother sprawled naked on the bed.
She further described as unfortunate the failure by the victim to lodge a formal complainant to police over the incest case, saying police only moved in to investigate the matter after receiving a formal complaint from members of the public.
Katanga said police in the area would ensure that Jameson, who is believed to be in his early twenties, was quickly brought to book to answer the charges of rape levelled against him.
