Mutsvangwa heartless, says prosecution

The case in which Neville Mutsvangwa (36) is accused of raping a 43-year-old woman continued yesterday with the court conducting an inspection in loco of the offices where the alleged offence was committed.

Neville allegedly raped the woman at his father Christopher Mutsvangwa's offices at Number 3 San-Fernando along Fife Avenue in Harare.

Neville's lawyer Harrison Nkomo requested for the inspection to prove that the 43-year-old woman had consented to sex.

Nkomo insisted that the door to the office when locked can only open from outside. The complainant insisted that the door was closed and because it does not open from inside she could not run away. The prosecutor George Manokore closed his case after the inspection in loco.

Nkomo applied for discharge.

In his application he said the State's case was full of uncertainties and no court acting carefully can convict.
