The woman sexually abused her sons — twins aged eight and a
six-year-old. She will serve an effective 16 years after Chitungwiza
Magistrate, Mr Noel Mupeyiwa, conditionally suspended four years of the
sentence.
The case came to light after one of the sons sexually
abused a neighbour’s child and on further investigations reported that her
mother had practically taught him and his siblings how to be intimate.
Prosecutor Ms Trinity Nyandebvu convinced the court that
sometime between April and August 2020, the woman stayed with her three
children at a plot in Beatrice.
She shared a room with them and made them sleep on the
floor, from where she would pick them up to the bed one by one and sexually
abuse them.
Nyandebvu told the court that the woman told the sons that
she was preparing them for adulthood and threatened to starve them or abandon
them, if they refused her advances or reported the acts to anyone.
Eventually, she abandoned the children and they were taken
into the custody of a step grandmother in Chitungwiza.
The case came to light when this eight-year old minor
sexually abused a neighbour and he revealed that his mother was the one who
practically taught them intimacy. Herald
