A 15-year-old boy from the suburb of Pelandaba West in Bulawayo has been taken into custody on charges of raping his 12-year-old cousin, leading to her pregnancy. The community has been left shaken by this heinous crime, which allegedly occurred in December of last year.

Reports indicate that the girl’s older brother instructed her to deliver a pair of shoes to her cousin. Upon her arrival, the young man reportedly pulled her into his house and into his bedroom. Once there, he allegedly forced himself upon her, leaving her traumatized and alone.

According to B-metro It wasn’t until the girl’s mother noticed that her daughter was pregnant that the truth came to light. After some questioning, the young girl bravely revealed that she had been sexually assaulted by her own cousin.
