RAPIST RAPES LOVER’S DAUGHTER AS MOTHER TAKES A BATH

- Arron Nyamayaro

A DARING rapist raped the 11-year-old daughter of his lover several times, including once while her mother was taking a bath, inside the same house. The incident happened in Dzivarasek­wa. Jackson Murambiwa, 44, of Vantage Farm in Zvimba, raped the girl three times.

His decision to rape the child, while her mother was taking a bath, backfired after she caught him in the act.

It led to his arrest.

Harare provincial police spokespers­on, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, told H-Metro:

“Circumstan­ces are that the complainan­t is a step daughter to the accused.

“The accused took advantage of the complainan­t’s mother’s absence and invited the complainan­t to his bedroom.

“On a date not known by the complainan­t, he raped her once without protection.

“On April 17 at around 0600 hours, the accused raped her once again without protection.

“On April 20, at around 1700 hours, the accused called the complainan­t into his bedroom whilst the complainan­t’s mother was bathing. He dragged her onto the bed and raped her without protection.

“The complainan­t’s mother then entered the room whilst the complainan­t and the accused were semi-naked and she asked what was happening.

“The complainan­t’s mother then cried and neighbours gathered and apprehende­d the accused leading to his arrest.”
