"The husband then became infuriated and threatened to take her to police in the morning but she waited till he fell asleep and then poured boiled water on him and then fled after he screamed.The husband was rushed to Liteta hospital by neighbours. He is currently in UTH on life support. Charity was later apprehended on Sunday night by two boys who recognised her trying to hike enroute Lusaka.

"It was at the police after "some light beatings" that she confessed she killed her step daughter 10 months ago and buried her right in front of her own house. The police and forensic doctors from Kabwe general hospital, rushed to the scene and exhumed the remains of the dead child.

"She confessed also that she killed her first husband together with his mother. Apparently, this was her fourth marriage, all her former husbands had died."
