AN 18-year-old woman was last week on Tuesday allegedly gang-raped by a truck driver and his lorry-mate on her way from Chipata to Lusaka, Trauma Healing Centre (THC) executive director Juliet Mutale has said.
Ms Mutale said yesterday that the named woman was allegedly running away from her abusive grandmother when she met her fate.
“We are currently counselling the woman. She was taken to hospital where tests were conducted. She is a double-orphan and does not have any relative in Kitwe. In an attempt to run away from her grandmother who was abusing her, she jumped on the truck that was coming to Kitwe but on the way, the truck driver and his lorry boy repeatedly raped her on the way to Kitwe,” she said.
