Three armed women rape Norton man

A Norton man has become the latest victim of sexual abuse by armed women when he was recently forced to be intimate with three of them at gunpoint.
The women, clad in white blouses and long skirts, offered the man a lift from Norton to Harare on Monday at around 4am.
They were in a silver Toyota Pajero with South African number plates.
Said Mashonaland West police spokesperson Clemence Mabgweazara yesterday: “He entered the vehicle and noticed that there were three occupants including the driver who were all dressed in white and had short hair and were all light in complexion.
“They said they would drop him off in the city centre.”
One of the women had three gold teeth and the three are believed to be aged between 35 and 40.
They were using a language their victim said he could not understand, but used Shona when talking to him.
It is alleged after driving for just 500m, one of them sprayed him in the face with an unidentified substance while the other pulled out a pistol and pointed it at him.
They turned into the bush near Lake Chivero and one of them reportedly offered him a bundle of South African rand notes as inducement to be intimate with them.
When he refused, they reportedly forced him to wear a condom and he slept with them while one always stood guard with the pistol.
The man told police that at some point he blacked out and woke up naked at around 6am to find people staring at him.
He was still wearing a condom.
Insp Mabgweazara said, “It is strange because in most such cases the women take away the condom, but this time around they just left with his belongings.
His Nokia 1200 and US$50 were missing.
Police recently said the net was closing in on women involved in such sexual abuse, but to date no arrests have been made despite victims ma-king several such reports.
It is suspected that the abuse is linked to rituals under the advice of “fortune tellers” who tell the women that this is a route to easy money or good luck.
Other claims are that the women take the sperm for ritual purposes or to sell it.
