THE three-year-old boy of Lusaka who was severely beaten by his grandmother is still critically ill in University Teaching Hospital (UTH).
UTH spokesperson Mwenya Mulenga said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that Obert Nasilele was so badly beaten by his grandmother on December 31, 2013 that he had to be admitted for treatment.
Nasilele is admitted in the main Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ward and still in a very bad condition.
“Our nurses and doctors are doing everything possible to ensure that the boy’s condition is stabilised, hoping he recovers as soon as possible,” he said.
He said Nasilele was rushed to hospital on New Year’s Day by relatives.
Police spokesperson Charity Chanda said that the police have instituted investigations into the matter.
“We are still investigating the issue and looking for this grandmother that badly beat her grandchild. Once the investigations are done, we will make the information available to the public,” she said.
