A 62-year-old Cold Comfort man is on the run for allegedly raping his teenager maid.
Peterson Goredema is alleged to have lured the teenager into his bedroom where asked her to fix his mosquito net and to spread his bed on Friday.
After she finished the task, Goredema blocked her way out and locked the door, pushed her onto the bed, forcibly undressed and raped her once without protection.
The maid tried in vain to wrestle with Goredema but was overpowered.
It is alleged that, after the rape, the maid proceeded to her room and slept.
One of the neighbours told H-Metro that Goredema disappeared from his house after the maid lodged a complaint with the police.
“On Saturday Goredema locked the gate to prevent the maid from leaving the yard.
“She further asked for permission to go and see her sister, but Goredema prevented her from leaving and threatened her that if she left the house her job will be terminated.
“On Sunday she managed to sneak out and proceeded to her sister where she narrated her story.
“The two proceeded to Goredema’s place of residence where they were chased refusing to answer questions about the rape.
“After the two went to police, Goredema fled his house and is yet to be located,” said one of the neighbours.
The maid was referred to Sally Mugabe Hospital for medical examination, and the case was reported at Kuwadzana Police Station under RRB 7013028.
