In a shocking incident that has left residents of Lusaka’s Chibolya Township (Mizinga) reeling, a disabled man has been arrested for allegedly inserting his walking stick into his wife’s genitals.

The man, who has not been named, reportedly acted after dreaming that his wife had cheated on him with his able-bodied younger brother.

The incident, which occurred on Sunday, has left the man’s wife hospitalized at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), where she is receiving medical attention.

The accused has been taken into custody and is expected to face charges of assault and battery.
