In Malawi, two siblings, Zione Jere, 17 and Nelson Jere, 21,
have been detained for engaging in incest, Mzimba Police
PRO, Constable Gabriel Chiona confirms.


“Yes I can confirm that we have arrested the two, who are
brother and sister on suspicion that they committed incest,”
Chiona was quoted as saying.

Chiona further said the father of the two siblings received a
report that his daughter is pregnant, and when questioned

brother as the father.

“The victim was referred to Mzimba district hospital where
test results revealed that Zione was 16 weeks pregnant,”
