Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Abednico
Ncube confirmed the incident and expressed worry about the increase in rape
incidents in the city.
He appealed for any information that may lead to the arrest
of the thief and anyone with information can report to any nearest police
station or send a tip-off to 0786928015.
Insp Ncube said on day, a 58-year-old woman and her
domestic worker (18), were sleeping in their separate bedrooms when they heard
the banging of doors.
The woman saw an intruder through the window walking
outside passing by the verandah.
Insp Ncube said the thief then used an unknown object to
force open the door, to gain entry.
He demanded money from the old lady and she gave him her
handbag hand bag where he searched and took US$10 and $100.
Insp Ncube said the robber then demanded for more money
while pointing a knife at the two and ordered the woman to bring all her hand
bags and he took US$50.
The intruder then forced the old woman to the teenager’s
bedroom, demanding more cash and he was given US$50 and a Mobicell cellphone.
Insp Ncube said after that he forced the domestic worker
outside the house and forced her to carry a Samsung television which he took
from the sitting room.
“They walked along Isambani road, turned into a small path
which led into Inkolome road where he ordered the lady to put down the
television, ordered her to lie down and raped her once without protection and
then told her to go back home,” he said.
A report was then made to police and the total value of
stolen property is US$400, $100 and nothing was recovered.
The victim was referred to United Bulawayo Hospitals for
medical examinations. Sunday News
