The victim (name withheld) from Chief Mukota’s area was
taken to Kotwa Hospital for medical examination.
Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Simon Chazovachii
yesterday confirmed the incident, saying the suspects, who are on the run, were
facing aggravated indecent assault charges. “Police are appealing for
information that may lead to the arrest of the accused persons,” he said.
“The public is also advised to treat strangers with caution
as some of them are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Strangers should be referred to
local leaders.”
According to police, on August 28, the victim, who was
fetching firewood, saw a white unregistered commuter omnibus being driven by a
man.
The man was in the company of two women, with one of them
clad in an orange African attire dress with black dots. The driver then asked
the victim whether he knew someone who was selling goats.
The victim knew a goat seller and was asked to accompany
them to the place and he agreed. It is reported that the driver then drove
towards Makaha area.
One of the women reportedly sprayed some substance on the
man’s eyes and he lost sight and consciousness.
When the complainant regained consciousness, he realised
that he had been dumped by the roadside. He also discovered that he had been
sexually abused. Newsday
