Lusaka Magistrates’ Courtroom witnessed a shocking case when a 22-year-old Mtendere Township resident appeared before the court, facing allegations of attempting to have sexual intercourse with his biological mother on Christmas Day last year.
The accused, who works at a tobacco company, pleaded not guilty to the charge. When asked if he understood the charge, he responded affirmatively. The prosecution intends to bring three witnesses to testify in the case.
According to allegations presented by Counsel Phiri, the accused sat on his mother’s lap, and after being pushed away, he followed her to the bedroom. The mother was shocked to see her son naked and attempting to penetrate her. She shouted for help, but the accused pushed her down and climbed on top.
A neighbour heard the screams and forced the door open, finding the accused on top of his mother.
The case has been adjourned to January 21, 2025, for mention and February 5, 2025, for the commencement of trial before Magistrate Mutinta Mwenya.
