In a horrific incident that has sent shockwaves through the community, a 23-year-old man from Chief Mutasa’s area is facing rape charges after allegedly sexually assaulting his own 1-year-old daughter.

The gruesome incident occurred on December 17th when the mother of the child was briefly away from the family home, fetching water from a nearby borehole.

According to the prosecution, the accused man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, took advantage of his wife’s absence to commit the unspeakable act. He allegedly entered the room where his infant daughter was sleeping, removed her diaper, and proceeded to rape her.

The mother returned to find the accused standing by the door, hurriedly pulling up his trousers. Alarmed, she rushed to her daughter and discovered the horrific truth. The child was crying inconsolably and bleeding from her genitals, with semen found on her body.

The accused, realizing he had been caught, fled the scene. However, he was later apprehended by authorities and brought before the Mutare Magistrates’ Court.

The court denied the accused bail, citing the severity of the crime and the potential risk to the community. The trial is scheduled to commence on January 3, 2025.
