Zimbabwean News You Can Trust

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has arrested a 25 year old man from Kuwadzana suburb for allegedly raping a 12 year old girl.

It is reported that in December last year the victim was sent by her father to buy groceries and along the way the sex starved man allegedly took advantage and proposed love to her, but she turned it down.

After his advances had failed, the man reportedly grabbed her and closed the mouth of the minor with toilet tissues, took her to his home in and allegedly raped her once before threatening the victim, not to disclose the evil ordeal to anyone.

On January 2 this year, the elder sister of the minor reportedly noticed a change on her sibling’s step and after the victim was questioned she later disclosed the rape incident, leading to the alleged perpetrator’s arrest.

ZRP Harare Provincial spokesperson, Luckmore Chakanza confirmed about the arrest and narrated the whole story of what had happened.

He said, “On 26 December 2023 around 1800 hours, the complainant was sent by her father Phainos Magonyo to buy relish at Kuwadzana 3 shops. She met the accused who proposed love to her but she turned him down. The accused suddenly closed the complainant’s mouth with a tissue paper, lifted her and took her to his house at number 3638 Kuwadzana 3 Harare.  Upon arrival at his house the accused entered in into his room and locked the door.

“He forcibly took off the complainant’s clothes and raped here once. The complainant left the place and did not disclose the ordeal to anyone. On 2 January 2024 complainant’s sister Ruth Mogonyo aged 22 years noticed the way the complainant was walking and asked her. That was when she disclosed the rape. A report was made at ZRP Kuwadzana on 2 January 2024. Scene was attended and accused was arrested and detained under Kuwadzana.”
