Two HARARE brothers, Wellington (31) and Nomore Marange (24) of Dzivarasekwa appeared before magistrate Ms Bianca Makwande for having an incestuous relationship with their 23-year-old niece.
The niece Lucia Mahachi (23) also pleaded guilty to incest.
The trio was remanded out of custody on free bail to February 17 to give the State time to amend its papers.
Ms Makwande ordered prosecutor Mrs Francisca Gundani to amend the charge so that Mahachi is charged with Wellington and Nomore.
The trio was ordered not to interfere with State witnesses and not to commit the same offence.
Mrs Gundani told the court that from December 2011, Nomore became intimate with his niece on several occasions despite that fact that they are related.
On February 8, Nomore and Mahachi were caught pants down by his elder brother's wife, Manyara Mugwagwa.
Mugwagwa reported to her husband that his young brother was being intimate with a relative. But the husband, Wellington, instead beat his wife and later went to investigate the incident.
