Female rape suspects’ application opposed

attacking hitchhikers in search of semen.
Sisters Sophie (26) and Netsai Nhokwara (24), Rosemary Chakwizira (28) and a male counterpart Thulani Ngwenya (24) had applied for the release of the Toyota Chaser with immediate effect.
They argued that they needed it to drive to police to report as part of their bail conditions and avoid using public transport for fear of being mobbed.
Magistrate Mr Kudakwashe Jarabini will make a ruling on the matter today.
Prosecutor Mr Tapiwa Kasema said the vehicle belonging to Netsai was going to be used as evidence during trial.
The four are facing charges of aggravated indecent assault. They are on US$300 bail each and their trial will start on January 26 next year.
“The vehicle was used by the accused persons when they allegedly committed the offence,” said Mr Kasema. “It was recovered from the accused person and was identified by witnesses, hence it is needed as evidence for the trial.”
The three are represented by Mr Dumisani Mthombeni, Mr Charles Nyika and Mr Frank Hwenhira.
