Police in Mashonaland East have launched a manhunt for a 37-year-old man from Mudzi who allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl after giving her beer.
After raping her, the suspect threatened her with death if she ever revealed the incident.
The incident occurred on Saturday, at around 10pm in an area under Chief Mukota, Mudzi.
Allegations are that the suspect and the 15-year-old girl were at a memorial service and at around 10pm, the man gor the girl drunk on beer.
He invited her to accompany him to a nearby tuckshop and she agreed but on the way he dragged her into the bush and assaulted her before vanishing.
The matter came to light after the girl narrated her ordeal to her cousin who then informed the girl’s mother.
Police spokesperson for Mashonaland East Inspector Simon Chazovachiyi appealed to the public for information which may lead to the arrest of the suspect.
Insp Chazovachiyi urged parents and guardians to always observe activities of their minor children.
