A 17-YEAR-OLD Chipinge boy appeared in court last week for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl on March 1.
Prosecuting, Mr Witness Nyamundaya, said on the day in question, Shepherd Murahwa of Bonde Village in Chief Mutema's area allegedly followed the teenager to a stream where she had gone to fetch water.
'Murahwa allegedly proposed love to the teenager, who turned him down. The accused remained adamant and pushed the bucket from the minor's head and it fell onto the ground.
"He then dragged her into the bush and raped her once, while he kept a tight grip on her neck.
After raping her, he threatened to stab her to death if she reports the matter to anyone," said Mr Nyamundaya.
The complainant, however, reported the matter to her sister, Alice and a police report was made, leading to Murahwa's arrest.
Murahwa is expected to appear before Mutare regional magistrate, Mr Trynos Utahwashe on March 25.
Mr Makamera Waini heard the case.
