Sick Man On The Run After Raping Niece Who Came…

A sick man, 54, is now on the run after raping his 13 year old niece who had come to his bedside to serve him food.

The idea of taking the food to the sick uncle was the mother of the girl’s and now she is regretting sending daughter on the dangerous errand.

The incident happened in Chief Neshangwe, Chikomba district, the Mashonaland East province of Zimbabwe, reports the Newsday.

The man was able to have his way once after he threatened the girl with a machete, said provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Simon Chazovachii who confirmed the case yesterday.

“Police are appealing for information on the whereabouts of the suspect in connection with a rape case. We also urge members of the public to quickly report rape cases so that victims can be quickly assisted to get treatment. The public should also know that relatives and neighbours are potential abusers,” he said.

The alleged rape happened sometime in April when the complainant was sent to serve food to the ill man by her mother.

The suspect then took a machete from under the bed, forced the girl to lie on the bed and raped her once.
