However, one of her aunts woke up and saw Mwanamutsvene raping her. She woke up her granny who was sleeping in the bedroom.

The State said Mwanamutsvene then lay on the floor pretending to be drunk.

When they shook him, he did not respond, and they the girl’s grandfather helped him to his room. They took the girl to the police station to file a report and Mwanamutsvene was arrested.
