More Mapfumo (29), who was playing host to the couple, locked the door to his
house soon after his friend went out to relieve himself and went on to rape his
guest's girlfriend.
The woman is now pregnant after the condom Mapfumo used during the heinous act
burst. The couple had apparently visited Mapfumo to ask him for a place for them
to enjoy themselves.
After locking the door, Mapfumo allegedly produced a knife and threatened to
kill the woman before raping her once. The helpless friend stood by the window
as he heard his girlfriend screaming for help.
Mapfumo has since been arraigned before Chitungwiza magistrate Mr Temba Kuwanda
facing a rape charge under Section 65 (1) (a) of the Criminal Law (Codification
and Reformed) Act Chapter 9: 23.
Prosecutor Mr Moffat Makuvatsine said sometime in November last year at around
10pm, the victim and her boyfriend went to Mapfumo's house after spending some
time at a bar in the Unit C area.
The boyfriend went to the toilet outside to relieve himself only to come back to
find the door locked and to hear his girlfriend screaming.
After raping the woman, Mapfumo went out of the house while his victim also went
out to find her boyfriend who had gone to make a police report.
Mapfumo pleaded not guilty to the charge. The trial continues tomorrow.
