The woman and
her lover were walking together at around 8pm.
On approaching
Granville Cemetery, they met the two men who demanded national identification
cards from them. They ordered the boyfriend to sit down and hit him on the
forehead with an unknown object.
One of the men
dragged the woman on top of a grave where they took turns to rape her without
protection.
After the act,
the rapists hit the woman on the head with an unknown object, and she fell
unconscious.
She later
regained consciousness and proceeded with her boyfriend to lodge a complaint
with the police at ZRP Southlea Park.
Harare
