On Tuesday night, the survivor had gone to celebrate the end of 2024 while anticipating the start of 2025 at a local bar in Mulenga Overspill.
At the event, the woman was sharing drinks with people, until the 2025 countdown began.
As people shouted ‘5, 4, 3, 2, 1,’ counting down to 2025, the survivor decided to leave the bar and go outside so that she could also witness and enjoy the view of the fireworks which were being cracked outside.
However, before she could even enjoy her first few seconds in 2025, she was approached by two men who immediately began to insult her without any reason.
After a short confrontation, the two men later dragged her to a nearby mobile money booth, where they said to have taken turns in ra**ng her.
While she was being r**ed, the survivor shouted for help, but her aid came late and only after the first suspect had finished ra**ng her.
And when people got wind of the crime, they found the Gen-Z, Kaumba who they caught in the act, while his crime buddy had already fled the scene.
The matter was then reported to the police at Wusakile Police station who visited the scene.
