ZAMBIA: Mongu Man Dressed Like Woman Arrested

POLICE in Mongu have arrested a 27-year-old man for allegedly masquerading as a woman and committing sodomy with a taxi driver.
Hatch Bril of St John’s was locked up last Thursday at Mongu Central Police Station after a 19-year-old taxi driver reported the matter to the police.

Western Province commissioner of police Charles Lungu said in an interview yesterday that on the fateful morning around 02:00 hours, Bril allegedly lured the taxi driver to bed after the two met.

“Apparently Bril, who was allegedly dressed and appeared like a woman, was liked by two men but ‘she’ settled for the taxi driver because he had a car.

“The two later went to the taxi driver’s house in Imwiko stage II where the victim discovered that his purported lover was actually a man after he noticed strange contours on ‘her’ body in the middle of the sex encounter,” he said.

Mr Lungu said the taxi driver immediately dragged Bril to the vehicle and drove to his aunt’s house for reinforcement.
Mr Lungu said Bril will appear in court soon.

Meanwhile, a 43-year-old man of Nawala village in Mongu has committed suicide following a marital dispute.

Sininda Samba set himself ablaze on Thursday last week around 14:00 hours in his house.

He said the relatives have buried the remains.
