A 42 year old Man in Ntcheu will spend the next fifteen years in cooler after Ntcheu Senior Resident Magistrate Court convicted him for defiling his 12 year old step daughter.

District Police Spokesperson, Hastings Chigalu told Zodiak Online that the convict, George James defiled the victim on 3rd August 2020 at Zidana Village, Inkosi Kwataine in the district.

"Appearing before Senior Resident Magistrate, Yohane Munthali, the convict pleaded not guilty to defilement charges but state paraded witnesses to secure a conviction," he said.
