A teen mother aged 18, Agnes Songwe is in Police custody in Kasungu district for horribly murder her 1 year old baby as a way of ending a long misunderstanding with the baby's biological father.
Inspector Edwin Kaunda, Kasungu Police Public Relations Officer says Agnes stabbed her 1 year baby in the neck and dumped the body secretly.
The Kasungu Police PRO narrates that Agnes had left the child in custody of grandmother in Kasungu district since she married a Man in Dowa district.
Kaunda said the biological father of the child, Jonathan Gonthi denied to marry Agnes right away she was pregnant and also could not provide any support to the baby as promised.
Like a normal visit, Inspector Kaunda says on 5th May this year Agnes arrived at Manthalekani village in the area of TA Chilowamatambe in Kasungu district where the child and grandmother were living then committed the murder.
Upon her arrest Inspector Kaunda says Agnes admitted the murder but said she did it just to make her mother live a free life from waves of threats issued from biological father of her child, Jonathan who together with his relatives had once forced Agnes mother to move out of the village after she asked him to begin support the child.
Agnes was arrested on Saturday and led police to a place where she dumped the the baby.
Agnes hails from Manthalekani village TA Chilowamatambe in Kasungu and will be taken to court very soon to be formally charged.
