THE woman, who was battered in a vicious gang attack, which was recorded by the five women, was abused for FOUR hours and the assailants even inserted three sticks into her private parts.

Her mother, Sebia Muchenjekwa, says Mavis Mada, 18, is still alive but has been bleeding continuously since the savage attack.

Vimbai Mike,19, Rudo Manjere, 17, Lilly Rose Munyoro,16, Lillian Chido Munyoro, 17 and Sandra Vhumbunu are the women who were behind the savage assault.

The five have since been arrested.

“I am appealing for help to access medical examination costs for my daughter,” said Sebia.

“My daughter is alive and writhing in pain.

“I have used the little I had as a widow and I have nothing more, she is yet to undergo other examinations as well as attend court,” she said.

National police spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi, confirmed the arrest.

“Reference is made to our post on the Zimbabwe Republic Police X handle on 10th July 2024 on a viral video circulating on social media platforms in which a female victim is being assaulted by a group of female suspects.

“The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms their arrest on 10th July 2024 in connection with the case of aggravated indecent assault which occurred at Mupfuuri Village, Wedza on July 4, 2024.

“Investigations by the police revealed that on July 4, at 11 00 hours, Rudo Manjere, Lilly Rose Munyoro and Lillian Chido Munyoro lured the victim, Mavis Mada, to Vimbai Mike’s homestead at Mupfuuri Village, Hwedza, on the pretext that they wanted to give her vegetable seedlings.

“The suspects locked the victim in one of the huts and stripped her naked.”

He added:

“The five suspect took turns to assault the victim with switches and went on to insert three sticks into the victim’s private parts whilst recording a video.

“The victim fell unconscious and the suspects poured water on her before freeing her naked at 1500 hours.

“The arrest of the suspects led to the recovery of a Vivo cellphone which was used to record the assault incident.

“Vimbai Mike is detained in police custody while the other four suspects, who are juveniles, have been released into the custody of their parents and they will be taken to court for the law to take its course.

“The complainant is alive and is currently receiving medical attention at Mount St Mary’s Hospital.”
