“I thought it was my hubby undressing me but realised it was an intruder”

A THIRTY TWO YEAR OLD woman of Ndola has narrated to a court how an intruder sneaked into the bedroom where she and her husband were sleeping and attempted to rape.
The couple had at the time quarrelled and the victim had opted to sleep on the floor as she did not want to share the bed with her husband.
The named woman of Bwana Old Regiment in Bwana Mkubwa Township told the magistrate’s court that Dave Mulenga,22, of the same township attempted to rape her on the night of August 1, this year after he broke into her house.
Ms. Nambeya thought it was her husband trying to caress her, but she noticed from Mulenga’s body aroma that it was actually a different person other than her spouse.

“On the night of August 1, while sleeping a man started undressing me and at first I thought it was my husband but only came to realize that it was an intruder from his smell and the way he was touching me, he was being rough,” she said.
Ms. Nambeya said she was only rescued by her husband who heard her scream after noticing the stranger.
She the reported the case to Indeni Police Post where Mulenga was arrested.
Samson Phiri, a police officer from Indeni said he received a report of attempted rape and proceeded to investigate.
