Police in Mudzi have launched a manhunt for a suspect who raped an 84-year-old granny during the night and disappeared.
Allegations are that on August 24, around 8 pm the granny who stays alone locked her door and retired to bed.
Early in the morning around 1 am the suspect entered the bedroom after breaking the door using an unknown object.
The granny shouted for help but no one came. The man reportedly raped her once before he left the scene.
After the incident, the granny went to a neighbor’s house where she narrated her ordeal and the two went to report the incident to the police.
Deputy police spokesperson for Mashonaland East province Assistant Inspector Misheck Denhere appealed to the public for information that may lead to the arrest of the perpetrator.
He encouraged society to always protect the vulnerable especially the elderly.
Most recently, a Chikomba man was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment by a Chivhu Regional Magistrate for raping a 104-year-old granny at knifepoint.
