Ex-lover masterminds vicious gang rape

A 23 year old Tsholotsho man teamed up with two friends to gang rape his 17 year old ex-lover until she passed out.

That was a way of 'fixing' the girl for dumping him.

Circumstances are that on October 22 at around 2 pm, the complainant was on her way to the grinding mill with a female friend when they met one of the alleged rapists who lied to her that her ex-lover wanted to see her so that they could talk about mending relations.

The victim sensed danger and refused and the man forcible dragged her to her ex-lovers homestead when upon arrival she was forced into one of the bedroom huts.

Her former lover and another man were eagerly waiting for her.

While inside the bedroom hut, the trio forced the girl to commit a number of sex acts. They went on to take turns to have sex with her until she fainted.

That was when the trio stopped.

After regaining consciousness they threatened her with unspecified action if she told anyone of the orgy.

However, she reported the sexual attacks to the police leading to the trio's arrest.

The trio was remanded in custody to November 23.
