Sentencing of police officer who raped poly student set for today

The High Court in Blantyre is this morning expected to sentence a convicted police officer Andrew Chagaga, for raping a 17-year-old student from Malawi University of Business and Applied Science (MUBAS), formerly known as Polytechnic.

 

Chagaga was convicted on 15 July 2021 by Blantyre First Grade Magistrate Tsoka Banda but the case moved to the High Court after State lawyers filed to have it moved, saying Chagaga deserved a stiff punishment.

The officer raped the student while she was in custody at Limbe Police during the night of December 12 and 13, 2020.

The victim (name withheld) was arrested over idle and disorderly charge and she was taken to the Police Station where Chigaga, who was the Custody Officer on duty, raped her twice before releasing her.
