THE Lusaka Magistrates court has acquitted a 16 year old female juvenile accused of assault.
This is in a matter the girl while acting with another person, were accused of having on Nov. 5, 2018, assaulted Alick Zulu.
Particulars of the case, which was before magistrate Nsunge Chanda, are that the girls insulted Mr Zulu for no apparent reason and later beat him and assaulted him with an iron bar when he attempted to query them why they were insulting him.
Mr. Zulu reported the matter to Matero Police Station and was later treated at Chingwere Hospital where he was treated for a fractured arm.
Mr. Zulu identified the girl as the one who assaulted him and denied proposing love to her.
The girl however, denied assaulting Mr Zulu but accused him of always following her and proposing love to her.
Magistrate Chanda ruled that Mr. Zulu’s behaviour was provocative and could have forced the girl to behaving in the manner she did.
The court found the girl with no case to answer and acquitted her.
