A 21-year-old man, identified as Tatenda, was arrested seven months ago for allegedly s3xually ass@ulting his four-year-old niece, Carol.
According to reports, Tatenda confessed to repeatedly ass@ulting the child without being detected. The family discovered the ass@ult when they noticed Carol’s unusual behavior after she returned from playing.
In an interview with NRTV, Carol’s aunt revealed that she questioned Carol about the ass@ult, and the child confirmed that Tatenda had r@ped her multiple times while they were herding cattle, thre@tening to h@rm her if she spoke out.
Tatenda initially denied the allegations but later admitted to the crime, expressing confidence that the family would forgive him and offering to compensate them.
However, Tatenda’s mental fitness has been called into question. In a disturbing twist, he revealed that his father had also r@ped Carol’s mother, who has mental health challenges, resulting in Carol’s conception. The father was arrested after Tatenda’s confession.
