A DZIVARASEKWA man is on the run after allegedly raping his neighbour’s 13-year-old daughter.
Tichaona Mangido of Dzivarasekwa 3 in Harare allegedly raped his neighbour’s daughter sometime last month and threatened to kill her, and her parents, if she disclosed the rape.
The girl was fetching water from the outside sink and Tichaona proposed love to her and she rejected.
After a few minutes, the girl went into the toilet intending to take more containers to fill up and Tichaona followed her.
He threatened to kill her and her parents if she refused to have sexual intercourse with him and raped her.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, said the girl informed her mother on Saturday.
“Police are investigating a rape case involving a minor in Dzivarasekwa 3,” said Insp Chakanza.
“The victim was referred to Parirenyatwa Hospital for medical examination and the perpetrator is yet to be arrested,” said Insp Chakanza.
