The suspect,
Samuel Chipakacha, was convicted of aggravated indecent assault after a full
trial before Harare regional magistrate Jesse Kufa.
In her ruling,
Kufa condemned Chipakacha’s actions, describing them as a violation of trust
and human dignity.
The court heard
that Chipakacha sodomised his 60-year-old friend on the afternoon of February
23 this year following a beer drinking spree at Uncle Grey shebeen.
State
prosecutor Shambadzeni Fungura told the court that Chipakacha took advantage of
the complainant’s intoxicated state to commit the crime.
According to
the State, the complainant, who lives in the same neighbourhood as Chipakacha,
was heavily intoxicated when he decided to leave the shebeen.
However,
Chipakacha reportedly followed him to his house and found him lying on the bed.
The court heard
that Chipakacha undressed the complainant and sodomised him.
The incident
was witnessed by the complainant’s neighbour, who entered the house unannounced
and caught Chipakacha pants down.
Later that
evening, the neighbour informed the complainant about what had transpired and
he immediately reported to the police. Newsday
