A 15-year-old boy sodomisedA� his 10-year-old younger brother after seeing the act on TV, a court heard.
The teenager from Chiwundura will receive two cane strokes after a regional magistrate Morgan Nemadire convicted him of sodomising his younger brother.
He pleaded guilty to aggravated indecent assault charges and was given a wholly suspended two-year sentence on condition that two strokes with a rattan cane are administered to him for the offence.
a�?I admit that I committed the offence. I saw it being done on TV and I thought of trying it as well. I did not realise that I was harming my little brother,a�? he said.
Prosecuting, Andrew Marimo told the court that on February 28 this year, the boy, a form two pupil from Mabhungu Village under Chief Chiwundura called his 10-year-old brother who was playing outside the spare bedroom.
When the minor got into the room, the teenager undressed him before sodomising him once.
The boy reported the matter to his aunt, who in turn made a police report leading to the juvenilea��s arrest.
