Three Harare Remand Prison inmates—Kinhswell Ngwerume (32), Kudakwashe Mazorodze (35), and Lazarus Chinobhururuka—have each been sentenced to 20 additional years for sexually assaulting a fellow inmate.

Harare magistrate Loice Mukunyadze found them guilty of aggravated indecent assault after a full trial. Prosecutor Munyaradzi Muza proved that the attack occurred on August 11 last year when the victim was forced into Cell C2, where nine other inmates were present.

 Ngwerume made sexual advances toward the victim, who refused, prompting the three convicts to physically assault him. Chinobhururuka then forced the victim to consume an unknown drink, leaving him dizzy and powerless. The trio then removed his underwear and took turns sodomising him.

 The victim reported the attack to a prison officer the following morning and was taken to the hospital.
