A PROMINENT Bulawayo socialite-cum-property dealer was
dramatically arrested last week in a planned midnight raid, where he was
allegedly busted stark naked in the process of raping his maid.
The accused (name withheld to protect identify of victim)
was arrested at his home in Greenhill suburb, after the maid reported the
matter to the police, who in turn set a trap up for the socialite.
He appeared in court
last week and is facing up to four counts of rape. He appeared before Bulawayo
magistrate Ms Adelaide Mbeure.
He was remanded to 7 December on $100 bail. Prosecuting, Mr
Mageza Mafaro told the court that the socialite allegedly raped the girl on
four consecutive occasions during the course of this month.
For the first count he is reported to have raped the girl
on 13 November in the middle of the night. The court heard that in another case
he allegedly raped her in a similar manner on 14 November and for the third
count, which was on 15 November, he sneaked into the girl’s room in the dead of
the night, and raped her again. The girl then informed her sister of what had
happened and she was advised to report to the police.
That is when police devised a plan to make an arrest, with
the maid giving them information of his schedule and movement.
On the fourth count, it was stated that he allegedly went
into the complainant’s room, only in his undergarments and crept into her
blankets before raping her.
It was reported that police bust him while he was in
action. The girl was taken to hospital for a medical examination, which would
be produced in court during the trial. Mr Mageza Mufaro presented the case for
the State. Sunday news
