A 26-year-old convict at Mutimurefu Prison recently
appeared before Masvingo Magistrate Dambudzo Malunga for sodomising his fellow
prisoner.
Elias Chikomo (26) is being charged of indecent assault as
defined in Section 66(1) (a) (ii) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform)
Act Chapter 09:23.
It is the State’s case that sometime this year, the accused
approached Saul Rimwe (19) of Matimba Village, Chief Ndanga, Zaka who is also
an inmate of Mutimurefu Prison in his cell and gave him some food.
Rimwe accepted the food in good faith thinking that Chikomo
was just doing him a favour.
Later that day, Chikomo entered Rimwe’s cell and demanded
that he pays for the food he ate by allowing him to sodomise him.
Rimwe turned down the demand but Chikomo prickled him with
a shoe needle and forcibly sodomised him. Chikomo repeated the offence the
following day.
The matter came to light when Rimwe developed some stomach
complications and he opened up to a medical personnel at Mutimurefu Prisons.
A report was made to Masvingo Rural Police Station leading
to Chikomo’s arrest. TellZim News
