Zambian man Kelvin Kapambwe who was arrested for sleeping and impregnating his 19 year old step daughter has explained the reasons behind his indecent acts.

Appearing before Mansa High Court, Kapambwe said he was forced to sleep with his stepdaughter because she is more beautiful than his wife.

“Your honour I was forced to sleep with my step-daughter 10 times because she looks more beautiful than my wife,” Kapambwe told the court.

According to reports, Kapambwe took advantage of the girl after his wife who also happens to be the mother of the girl was in Lusaka and Copperbelt selling fish.

The girl is expected to give birth to twins fathered by her step father in july this year.

She has also been dumped by a man who was planning on marrying her this year in August after the news broke out.

The mother is currently reported to have been admitted at Mansa Hospital after she fainted upon learning of the devastating news.

Mansa High Court Judge has sine handed Kapambwe a 40-year jail sentence with hard labour.
