On Sunday at around 8.30pm, the girl was on her way to her neighbour’s house where she sleeps when they are away. She met the accused person who followed her, and when he got into the house, he locked the door and raped the girl four times.”

The victim’s mother noticed that her daughter was having difficulty walking the next day. Upon interrogation by the victim’s mother, the girl revealed that she had been raped by Madzima. Inspector Luckmore said, 

“The following morning the complainant went back to their house and her mother noticed that she was having difficulties in walking. Upon being interrogated by her mother, she revealed that she was raped by the accused person.” 

Another Case of Sexual Assault

In a separate incident, three men in a sky-blue Toyota Wish kidnapped and gang-raped a 27-year-old woman in Ruwa. The victim was blindfolded and tied up, while the men took her cellphone and forced her to call her uncle to inform him that she was no longer coming to Solomio. The men then drove her to an unknown location in Ruwa, where they took turns raping her without protection. They left her locked in a room and returned the next day to blindfold her again before dumping her in Msasa.
