A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD boy of Ndola has been placed on his defence in a case he is accused of defiling a five-year-old girl on different occasions.
In the case, the juvenile who is a grade seven pupil is facing one count of defilement of a girl under the age of sixteen.
It is alleged that on January 31, this year the juvenile defiled the five-year-old girl.
When the case came up before Ndola chief resident magistrate David Chibwili, a police officer, constable Febby Mazuba 43, from Masala police station ‘victim support unit’ told court that on the material day she received a docket of defilement where a 14-year-old boy allegedly defiled a five-year-old girl.
Ms Mazuba said that the victim sustained painful private parts.
She said after being taken to the hospital, it was confirmed that the child was defiled.
“We also went to the scene where the girl showed me the place at her home where she was allegedly defiled from,” She said.
Ms Mazuba said after investigations, the juvenile denied to have defiled the girl.
And after finding him with a case to answer, Magistrate Chibwili advised his parents to find lawyers to represent the child as the case is very serious.
“The offence is a very serious offence whether at his age or adult the minimum imprisonment of this offence is 15 years so you should make sure to find a lawyer,” Magistrate Chibwili said.
Magistrate Chibwili adjourned the case with the hope that the juvenile will find a lawyer.
“I have therefore adjourned this case to June 7 this year for defence and I have extended your bail,” Magistrate Chibwili said.
