A sex-starved aunt from Epworth has been jailed to an effective two years for repeatedly having sexual intercourse with her underage nephew. Patricia Ketikamwe (25), whose husband was away, had sex with her brother's 16-year-old son who was staying with her during the holidays.

Ketikamwe had denied the allegations of aggravated indecent assault when she appeared before Harare regional magistrate Simon Rogers Kachambwa but was convicted after a full trial. She was slapped with a five-year-jail term before three years were set aside for five years on condition of good behaviour. She will cool her sexual need in prison for the next two solid years.

The State proved that Ketikamwe forced herself on the youngster. She would undress and then force the boy to have sex with her without his consent. The matter only came to light when the boy opened up to his school pastor after a time of distress.

The pastor later informed the boy's parents and a report was made to police leading to Ketikamwe's arrest. In his sentence, the magistrate blasted Ketikamwe saying: "She should learn to control her lust. She committed a serious offence and had exposed the minor to diseases."
