A 39-year-old man has been handed a 20-year prison sentence for a heinous crime committed in Rusape. The offender brutally ass@ulted and raped his girlfriend’s 80-year-old mother.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the incident occurred on June 1, just after midnight. The man stormed the elderly woman’s home, seeking his girlfriend, who is the victim’s daughter.
According to Zimlive, the court found him guilty of ass@ult and r@pe. The perpetrator’s violent actions have sparked outrage, highlighting the need for greater protection and support for vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly.
This disturbing case serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing gender-based violence and ensuring justice for survivors of s3xual ass@ult.
“He asked for his girlfriend’s whereabouts, but the complainant did not know,” NPA said.
“This did not go down well with the accused person who started assaulting the complainant with open hands several times on her face and smashed her head against the walls several times.
“He ordered the complainant to touch his manhood before he made her lie facing down and r@ped her.”
He was captured after the woman shouted for aid, prompting his girlfriend and her brother to rescue their mother. They discovered him holding a stick.
