GRACE CHAILE Lusaka A DNA report presented before the Lusaka Magistrates’ Court has revealed that a Zambia Air Force (ZAF) flight sergeant accused of defiling and impregnating his 14-year-old daughter is not the biological father of the baby at the centre of the case. State forensic analyst Innocent Makasa told magistrate Kawama Mwamfuli that DNA analysis excluded the 41-year-old accused as the biological father of the child born from the alleged incest. Dr Makasa, however, clarified that the DNA findings could not conclusively determine whether sexual intercourse had occurred between the accused and the victim. “Not every act of sexual intercourse results in pregnancy,” he testified. The DNA report also indicated that the accused is the biological father of the victim. Following presentation of the DNA report, the accused maintained his innocence and denied ever having carnal knowledge of his daughter. The flight sergeant told the court that when the...

The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has clarified that the Ugandan nationals repatriated into the country last week were hired mercenaries fighting for the South Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO), and not defectors from the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). The UPDF in collaboration with the government of South Sudan repatriated the group from Juba on Friday last week. The returnees include seven adult men, four women, and two children, who are currently undergoing rehabilitation in Gulu City. Initial reports had indicated that the group had defected from the LRA rebel outfit led by elusive rebel leader Joseph Kony from the Central African Republic (CAR). However, the Commander of the Fourth Infantry Division, Maj Gen Felix Busizoori told Uganda Radio Network in an interview that the returnees were actually members of the SPLM-IO who had been recruited to fight against the South Sudan government. “They are SPLA-IO, not LRA,” Gen Busizoori...
