GOKWE police say they are hunting a man who duped a village headman into finding him a VIRGIN after claiming to be the son of Chief Njelele.
Not only did the man deflower a 16-year-old teen but he stole her mobile phone and jacket before fleeing just as his elaborate con was about to unravel.
Assistant Inspector Samuel Tadzaushe says they are pursuing several leads, adding that the suspect â€" who claimed his name was Emmanuel Njelele â€" could face charges of impersonation and theft.
The man, described by police as in his late 20s or early 30s, had a simple request from the headman: he wanted a virgin to marry.
Assistant Inspector Tadzaushe said in no time, the headman had sent his wife and some elderly women from the village on a scouting mission.
The trickster persuaded the young "bride" to have sex with him in secret, and the girl agreed.
A day later, the headman ordered his aides to accompany the suspect to Chief Njelele's homestead with his new bride, using a scotch cart.
But as they were just meters from the chief's home, said Tadzaushe, the suspect â€" who was holding the girl's mobile phone and jacket â€" jumped off and fled.
