Like the famous Robbin Williams’ movie, Mrs Doubt-fire, a male youth of Lusaka’s Mtendere East Township disguised himself a woman and used the fake identify to get a job as a maid.
For five months, Christopher Mukutigwa, 29, posed as a woman by consistently wearing makeup and matching female clothes, and worked as a nanny taking care of two boys aged between one year-six months and five years old.
But unlike the caring Mrs Doubt fire whose agenda was to work as a maid at his ex-wife’s house to spend more time with his children, Christopher’s true gender was known when he allegedly attempted to sodomize a teenager at his workplace.
The suspect, while clad in his usual female clothes, was apprehended last night and taken to Kalikiliki Police Station where he is currently detained as police investigate the matter.
Police spokesperson Rae Hamoonga confirmed Mukutigwa’s detention and that the suspect remains in custody awaiting court appearance. The alleged attempted sodomy comes at a time when society is wary of the welfare of the boy child following increased reported cases of child molestation.
