In a similar incident, a 35-year-old Hwange man was arrested for allegedly raping his 11-year-old niece.
The victim’s relative who chose not to be named in order to protect the minor, confirmed the incident to the Daily News expressing shock and disbelief saying:
Everyone is shocked. It seems as if umalume (uncle) has been abusing this girl for a long. The world is so evil.
Circumstances are that the 11-year-old boy started behaving strangely and complaining of itchy privates.
Relatives became suspicious and took the boy to a nearby clinic for a medical examination where it was revealed that she had been raped.
The girl immediately told nurses that her 35-year-old uncle had sexually abused him leading to his arrest and is currently detained at Hwange police station.
