A 34-year-old Stoneridge man was on Tuesday arrested for raping his friend and employee’s wife.
John Rutsito, a construction company director was reported to have sneaked into his employee’s bedroom sometime in May and raped his wife once without protection.
His employee’s wife left the door unlocked when she retired to bed at around 10pm expecting her husband to return since he was having some beer at a nearby bar.
However, John arrived first, opened the door and sneaked into the blankets and raped her.
The employee’s wife thought it was her husband, who had returned, and did not easily identify the accused person since the room was in darkness.
John moved straight to the bed and started caressing his employee’s wife.
She then realised that it was not her husband during the rape and screamed once but no one heard her.
After the act, John was reported to have threatened her with unspecified action, and she kept quiet until last week.
She received phone calls from John, who was threatening to kill her husband and she reported the case to police,
Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the arrest.
“Police arrested a Stoneridge man who was on the run for raping his employee’s wife,” said Insp Chakanza.
