rapists drew a knife and threatened to kill her if she failed to comply with
his orders.

her to follow them to a secluded place inside the graveyard where they took
turns to rape her without protection.

then fled from the scene.She returned to her place of worship where she met her
husband, who was looking for her, and narrated the incident.

“Police are
investigating a rape case at a graveyard in St Mary’s,” said Insp Chakanza.

which belonged to his employer Esther Chaparanga.

boarded a white mushikashika Honda Fit, which had four other occupants,
intending to go to the Harare CBD and then proceed to Rusape.

him that he wanted to collect one of the passenger’s luggage and they agreed.

Skyline tollgate.
The driver
disembarked and proceeded to the side where Josphate was seated.

and ordered him to surrender everything in his possession.
The other
people, who had been pretending to be passengers, also took turns in assaulting
him.
