POLICE have located a man they wanted to speak to about a sexual offence which occured seven years ago.

Detectives issued an appeal to try and find Chikondi Mwale, 45, in connection with a sexual offence which occurred in May 2015 in Handforth.

He has since been located and charged with failing to comply with a court order.

A Cheshire Police spokeswoman said: “Chikondi Mwale was arrested and subsequently charged with failing to comply with a court order.

“He was remanded to appear at Chester Magistrates’ Court today (Wednesday, December 14).”     

It was believed Mwale had left the country, but police issued the appeal after recent developments suggested Mwale had returned to the UK.
