“The accused person quickly grabbed complaint’s hand and force marched her to a bushy area nearby.
“Whilst in the bush, the accused person threatened to hurt complainant if she ever made any noise and raped her.
“The accused person went on to search the complainant and took cash $20 which was in her bra,” said Insp Chakanza.
