A 26-year-old man from Mberengwa allegedly raped his ex-wife's little sister to get back at the former.
Donald Mapfumo (26) appeared before, Gweru magistrate Morgan Nemadire yesterday facing rape charges which he pleaded guilty and was remanded to 26 March for sentencing.
It is the State's case that the 14-year-old was sent by her grandfather to buy beer at Mapfumo's home.
After she bought two bottles of beer she was accompanied back home by Mapfumo's younger sisters while Mapfumo followed from afar. When his younger sisters returned to their home, he continued with the complainant.
Mapfumo offered her mangoes he was holding.
When she told him she could not hold them, he threw them at her.
He then told her to put the bottles on the on the ground but she denied so he snatched them away. He carried her to the bush and laid her down, tore her pants and told her "I want to indulge in sex with you like never before," he then raped her, at the same time she fought him. She managed to bite his hand and punched his chin with a fist, giving her a chance to escape when he flinched.
She ran home leaving the beer, the State alleges.
Mapfumo followed and he got to the house before her with the beer. He lied to her grandmother that she ran away from him, so he offered to help look for her. When they came back from looking for her, they found her home with other family members crying as she narrated her story. At first he denied the rape charges before he offered them a goat as an apology.
The court heard that Mapfumo was murmuring saying he wanted to feel what her sister felt when she was engaging in sex with him as he raped her.
The minor's uncle who testified in court said,"Mapfumo raped my niece, she came home running as if she had seen a ghost. She terrified me. We deceived him into thinking that we had forgiven him.
"When he brought the goat we told him to slaughter it for braai so that we could consume it together whilst we were buying time for the police to arrive."
However, Mapfumo denied the charge in court saying they were plotting against him for dumping their daughter, the ex-wife.
The child was medically examined and it was found that she had semen dripping from her v-gina and her v|_rginity had been broken.
