An Epworth man and his friend have appeared in court after pretending to help a 39-year old woman who they went on to rape.
Ibrahim Mohammed appeared before Harare regional magistrate Mrs Marehwanazvo Gofa charged with rape.
He was advised to apply for bail at the High Court.
The woman was allegedly running away from a suspected robber when the two faked to help.
The incident occurred on January 31, at around 10pm when the complainant, who was in the company of her male friend only identified as Jose, was coming from Msasa Shops.
The other co-accused, who is still on the run, met the complainant and started assaulting her.
Mohammed,29, passed by and was recognised by the complainant who begged for help.
Mohammed pretended to help her and took her to his house where he ganged up with his friend who is still at large and took turns to rape her without protection.
The matter was remanded to July 25 pending finalisation of investigations.
