Rapist caught after buying his victim panties

A 21-year-old Kwekwe rapist was caught after buying his victim a THONG.

Kidmore Nyambira, denied raping a 10-year-old schoolgirl but was convicted by a Gokwe magistrate on Tuesday.
 
The self-employed cobbler is starting a 20-year stretch in prison after.

The victim and two friends, magistrate Amos Mbobo heard, approached Nyambira and asked him to mend their shoes on a date in January this year.

Michael Mhene, prosecuting, told the court that Nyambira - who was with his father and a friend – promised the Grade 5 schoolgirls he would mend their shoes for no fee.

But after repairing their shoes, the three men followed the girls on their way home. At a secluded spot, they grabbed the girls and dragged them into the woods where they raped them.

After raping the young girl, Nyambira gave her a R2 coin and begged her not to tell anyone of the incident.
 
Days later, the court heard, the victim was walking to school when she was waylaid by Nyambira again who raped her once.
 
The victim later noticed she was missing her panties after the attack and approached Nyambira with her dilemma.
 
Nyambira, the court heard, then bought her a G-String - a type of thong underwear - as a replacement.

The girl's eagle-eyed mother noticed her daughter wearing a thong and confronted her. The victim then revealed the abuse, leading to Nyambira's arrest.

Nyambira's father and their associate are on the run.
