Salima, Kasungu Police In Joint Search For Kidnapper

The Farm Estate Owner Enticed the Boy To Work At His Farm Together With A Man He Knew

Unknown estate owner in Kasungu kidnaps a 15 year old Chinsinsi Benson in Salima district.

Police in Salima district are hunting for the unidentified man when parents of the boy reported of his missing at Salima Police station.

Sergeant Gift Chitowe Public Relations Officer for Salima district said the kidnapper also took with the boy a man being identified as Malindi after the two were enticed to work as tenants at his estate in Kasungu district.

“Currently the man is not known but the man arrived at Chimbalanga village which is in T/A Kambwiri in Salima district. He coaxed Mr. Malindi who is an older man and the boy Chisomo Benson to employ them and work in his farm in Kasungu. But the issue is that the man did not consult the parents of the boy hence the reporting of the matter to police.” explained Sgt Chitowe

“Investigations are under way in order to trace this culprit so that he appear before court and enable the law to take its course.” 

But he said “We are advising parents to take care of their children so that we should avoid the similar incidence from happening now and again”

Sergeant Chitowe confirmed that currently there is a joint investigation by Salima and Kasungu Police officers searching every farm in Kasungu in order to rescue the missing teen.

Once the abductor is arrested Sgt Chitowe said will be charged with abduction a penalty which attracts 14 year jail sentence.
