A Gutu woman, 38 and her teenage son, 18 have left the whole community in shock after they were caught being intimate during a night prayer vigil.
Appearing before Gutu resident magistrate, Mr Nyasha Vhitori recently, the woman and her son were not asked to plead to charges of incest.
The duo was remanded out of custody to 18 September for trial.
For the State, Ms Agatha Gabriel told the court that on an unknown date but sometime in July this year, the woman allegedly coerced her son into making love and he consented.
The court further heard the two's illicit sexual encounters, which are believed to have started in April this year, came to light sometime last month.
It is said the two would normally do their sordid act during night prayer vigils and on the fateful day, the two were caught by two minors who were attending a church service at Runyowa business centre.
The two minors aged four and 12 years are allegedly related to the two.
The court was told that after the youngsters caught them red-handed they went and made a report to elders who were at the church service and the elders went to the scene and found the two in the middle of the act.
It is said the encounters happened so frequently that the two had lost count of the number of occasions they had been intimate.
It is said the church elders did not allow the two to proceed to the church but reported the issue to an unnamed village head who also summoned them to his homestead where he intended to hear their case before taking it to the chief in the area.
However, sometime last week a report was made to the police leading to their arrest.
