A 19-year-old suspect is on the run after raping a Grade Five learner who is his relative.
The girl, who attends a Harare school, disclosed to her teacher that she had been raped twice at her grandparents’ house in Mbare by a relative.
The crime was committed last year.
Police spokesperson for Harare Metropolitan Province, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, said the girl was referred to Sally Mugabe Hospital for medical care.
“Police are investigating a case where a minor child was raped two times in a room where she was left sleeping. Circumstances are that sometime in December 2021, the complainant and her brother were left by their mother at their grandparents’ place. They stayed at the place for two days and during one of the nights, the accused entered the room where the complainant was sleeping together with her brother and raped the complainant without protection,” Insp Chakanza said.
On another night at the same place, the accused reportedly sneaked into the room again and raped the victim.
The girl did not tell anyone what had transpired until November 7 this year when she told her male teacher, who informed the girl’s mother.
The mother then reported the matter to the police.
