Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>THREE officers based at Chituripasi Police Station in Beitbridge East district have been accused of taking turns to rape an 18-year-old woman on three different occasions last month.<\/p>\n

The complainant had visited her aunt who stays in the area.<\/p>\n

The accused Courage Majoni, 32, Jabulani Museba, 33, and Enock Nyamupandu, 35, however denied the charge on Monday when they appeared before regional magistrate Innocent Bepura.<\/p>\n

They were remanded in custody to Tuesday for bail application.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that on June 5 this year, Museba sneaked into a bathroom where the complainant was bathing and raped her once before threatening to shoot her and her aunt if they reported the case.<\/p>\n

Three days later, Makoni allegedly abused the woman using the same modus operandi.<\/p>\n

On 13 June, Nyamupandu allegedly pounced on the same woman after sneaking into their house and raped her once at knife point.<\/p>\n

A few days later, the complainant went back to Bulawayo where she disclosed her alleged abuse to her mother. The matter was reported at Western Commonage Police Station, leading to the trio\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

Tsitsi Mutukwa prosecuted.<\/p>\n
