Kwanele Hadebe,
armed with an iron bar, allegedly stormed the homestead last Thursday night
with chilling intent — announcing at the door that he had come to rape and rob
the terrified pair.
The drama
occurred shortly after 9PM, when Hadebe reportedly banged on the door and
shouted: “Open up, I want to rape and rob you!”
The mother and
daughter, whose names are being withheld for legal reasons, froze in fear.
Moments later, Hadebe allegedly forced the door open using the iron bar and
charged into the house.
Inside, he
found the daughter sitting in the lounge. He allegedly pushed her to the floor
and climbed on top of her, attempting to undress her while she screamed and
fought back.
Hearing her
daughter’s cries, the mother grabbed an axe, stormed out of her bedroom and
struck Hadebe on the head in a desperate bid to save her child.
Hadebe tried to
grab the axe, but the daughter wrestled it back and chopped him several times,
leaving him bleeding heavily on the floor.
The pair
immediately reported the incident to the police, who arrested the suspect and
had him taken to hospital under guard.
Hadebe, fresh
from hospital, limping and bandaged appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Evia
Matura, facing charges of unlawful entry and attempted rape.
He only spoke
to confirm his name and surname and the charges he was facing. He was remanded
in custody to 30 June. B Metro
