A 16-year-old daughter falls sick and rendered temporary dumb.
For some unknown reason it is her 47-year-old father who had to babysit her during her admission at the Lusaka University Teaching Hospital.
Meanwhile, police in Lusaka have arrested a 47-year-old man of Kabwe for defiling his 16-year-old ailing daughter while nursing her in the University Teaching Hospital (UTH).
Thinking the daughter would remain dumb for the rest of her life, the incestuous father-nurse raped her any time he took her to the bathroom.
Currently cooling his heels with the Lusaka police, the apology of a father was exposed when the daughter suddenly regained her power of speech
Police spokesperson Charity Chanda said the man took advantage of his daughter at UTH, where he was nursing her in one of the wards.
.The girl, who had lost her speech for more than two months due to the illness, was an easy target for the suspect who took advantage of her speechless condition to defile her each time he took her to the bathroom
.The victim, who only regained her speech Monday, revealed the ordeal to the nurses and that the latest incident happened around 02:30 hours that morning.
The culprit will appear in court soon.
