Landlord Caught Having S3x With Drunk Tenant, Sparking Outrage
A 21-year-old businesswoman in the Kasompe area of Chingola, Zambia
, faced a horrifying ordeal when her 39-year-old landlord allegedly sexually assaulted her. The incident occurred on November 29, 2024, at about 9:00 p.m., in an unmarked house on Luangwa Road.
According to Copperbelt Police Commissioner Peacewell Mweemba, the victim had returned home after a night of drinking. In her intoxicated state, she reportedly left her door open, unaware of the impending danger.
Seizing the opportunity, the landlord entered her home. Commissioner Mweemba said the woman only realized what was happening when she awoke to find her landlord sweating on top of her.
Shocked and terrified, she screamed for help, prompting neighbours to rush to her aid. The commotion led to the landlord’s apprehension by the community, who then handed him over to the police.
The case has been reported to the Kasompe Police
Post. Authorities have opened a docket and confirmed the suspect’s arrest.
Commissioner Mweemba emphasized that the investigation is ongoing. He assured the public that Justice would be served in this matter.
The incident has sparked outrage in the Kasompe community and beyond. Many have expressed anger over the abuse of trust and power.
“Such behaviour is not only criminal but also deeply inhumane. No one should exploit another person’s vulnerability,” a concerned resident said.
This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers vulnerable individuals face. The victim, a young entrepreneur, was simply trying to make her way home after a night out.
Safety advocates have called for stricter measures to protect tenants, especially young women, from predators in positions of power. They also urge communities to foster environments where victims feel supported and perpetrators are held accountable.
The landlord, whose identity has not been disclosed, is now in custody. Police
have assured the public that a thorough investigation is underway. The incident has reignited conversations about tenant rights and the need for safety measures in residential areas.
This case highlights a larger issue of gender-based violence, a pressing concern in Zambia and globally. Activists are urging authorities to use this case as a turning point to enact tougher laws and provide more resources for survivors of such crimes.
The victim’s courage in calling for help is commendable. Her swift action and the intervention of neighbours ensured the alleged perpetrator was caught.
As the investigation progresses, many are watching closely to see how the justice
system handles this case. The hope is that it sets a precedent for zero tolerance
of such crimes.
