14-year-old girl kidnapped, drugged

Zim Now Writer

Two women and a man who were driving in a white commuter omnibus reportedly kidnapped a 14-year-old girl from Old Luveve in Bulawayo before injecting her with an unknown substance.

The alleged kidnappers tied the girl’s hands and legs with shoe laces and stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth.

The girl had left home around 4pm to go to Chigumira Shops in the suburb.

Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube said the girl was stopped by the suspects who called her by name and persuaded her to get into the vehicle.

“They then injected her with an unknown substance that drugged her and she became unconscious. The accused persons drove towards town.

“The complainant gained consciousness on the following day at around 9am with

 her legs tied together and hands tied behind her back. She realised that she had been dumped in a forest near Luveve Cemetery,” said Insp Ncube.

He said that the juvenile managed to stand on her feet and hopped towards the cemetery where she met a man who untied her and removed the cloth that was stuffed in her mouth.

“It is disheartening to realise that even women who are supposed to protect the girl child are the ones who do such inhuman conduct.

“We appeal to members of the public with information that may lead to the arrest of the accused persons to come forward.

“The motive behind the kidnapping is not yet known but investigations are in progress,” he said.

Insp Ncube warned members of the public against trusting strangers.
