WHAT A WICKED WOMAN!!!
A Zimbabwean woman who breastfed a neighbour’s
baby without her consent faces a possible two-year
sentence for deliberately infecting another person
with HIV after she tested positive.
39-year-old Annie Mpariwa appeared in court on
Wednesday … the case was deferred to October 24 to
allow a second HIV test to be performed on the
toddler. The child’s initial results were negative.
Mpariwa was arrested last week on charges of
common nuisance and should the child test positive;
the charge will be raised to “deliberately infecting
another person with HIV”.
The mother of the 14-month-old baby said seeing her
child being breastfed by her neighbour was
traumatising.
She alleged that her neighbour snatched the child
while she was playing outside and hid her in her
room.
After searching for the child for quite some time, she
went and knocked on Mpariwa’s rented room and got
no response.
Upon peeping through the window, she saw her
breastfeeding the little girl.
I was shocked. I nearly fainted,” she said, adding that
her breasts were leaking milk yet she was not a
nursing mother or pregnant.
The incident comes in the wake of a newly enacted
law on HIV and Aids that calls for stiffer penalties on
people who deliberately infect others with HIV.
OMG..describe this woman in one word!
