JAILED rapist Emmanuel Mugede, who is serving a 14-year term, was yesterday convicted of aggravated indecent assault after he forced himself on a fellow inmate at Harare Central Prison.
Mugede was convicted after a full trial by Harare magistrate Letwin Rwodzi and is expected in court today for sentencing.
The court heard that on July 23 at around noon, Mugede and the inmate were having a bath when Mugede took advantage of the complainant while he was washing his head.
Another inmate, Tinashe Muyambo walked in and witnessed the act, prompting Mugede to stop.
Muyambo asked if an inmate, called Artony Chambarambanda, was in the bathroom and went away.
Muyambo told Antony Chambarambanda what he saw.
Chambarambanda reported the matter to Tafadzwa Nembaware, a prison officer. A police report was made. Mr Loveit Muringwa appeared for the State.
