A 19-year-old Marlborough woman was on Saturday gang raped in a maize field in Westgate.
The woman went outside the house at around 10pm to meet her boyfriend, 44, who stays in the same area.
The two drove to Greencroft and bought food, returned and Tafara parked his vehicle at the gate of his lover’s house.
While enjoying their food, two unidentified men approached them pretending to be security officers on patrol.
Tafara came out of the vehicle to explain that he had visited his girlfriend, leaving the lover in the car where she was attacked.
Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the case.
“Police are investigating a rape case in Marlborough,” said Insp Chakanza.
“Two lovers were approached by two men, and they were reported to have attacked the boyfriend, took the car keys and drove the vehicle whilst complainant was seated at the front.
“The accused thought she was a lady of the night and demanded money from her.
“After realising that she did not have money they parked the car near a maize field in Westgate and dragged the complainant into the maize field where they took turns in raping her without protection.
“After sexually abusing her, they dumped the complainant leaving her with the vehicle without keys.
“The complainant was escorted to Edith Clinic for a medical examination,” said Insp Chakanza.
