The woman from Gomo village, in Masomera, under Chief
Svosve, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, has been
charged with aggravated indecent assault.
Mashonaland East Provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Simon Chazovachii yesterday confirmed the arrest of the suspect.
“I confirm the arrest of a Marondera woman who was charged
with aggravated indecent assault. We urge the public to desist from such acts
as it is an offence,” Chazovachii said.
Allegations are that last month, the woman approached her
stepdaughter, who was preparing to go to school, and ordered her to lie on her
back.
The woman reportedly covered the girl’s face with a cloth
before inserting a cooking stick in her private parts saying she was testing
her virginity.
It is reported that after a week, the woman inserted her
fingers in the girl’s private parts in continuation of the virginity tests. The
matter came to light on Monday after the girl told her class teacher about the
incidents.
A report was filed at ZRP Marondera Rural, leading to the
arrest of the suspect. Newsday
