A 37-year-old woman from Mbare, Kesy Hwengwere, is regretting making a false rape report against her husband after he failed to buy maternity preparation.
Hwengwere claims that her sister forced her to lodge a police report against her husband, Munyaradzi Hugh, 29.
She said claimed that Munyaradzi raped her sometime in January and she fell pregnant before they started living together as husband and wife.
“I feel sorry for being forced to lodge a police report against my husband.
“My sister was affected when she learnt that Munyaradzi was failing to buy maternity preparation for the baby I was expecting.
“Our marriage started sometime in May, after Munyaradzi impregnated me in January.
“We even made false reports that we are related when the truth is that Munyaradzi is the younger brother to the husband of my sister.
“There are things we had agreed to, but he failed to fulfil them hence our decision to have him arrested. I regret my actions but Munyaradzi is in police holding cells at Stodart Police Station,” Hwengwere said.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chikanza, confirmed the arrest of Munyaradzi.
“Police arrested a Mbare man for rape. Circumstances are that the complainant and accused are aunt and uncle,” Insp Chakanza said.
Munyaradzi is expected to appear in court today.
