Mr. Mweemba revealed the grim details, stating, “We received a report of defilement of an Imbecile where a woman aged 84 was defiled by a male person she can identify. The suspect caused pain on the victim’s stomach, legs, and on her private parts. The victim could not shout for help because of her mental status and old age. She informed her granddaughter of what had happened to her the following morning when she woke up.”
