Zim Now Writer

A 23-year-old woman from Unit L, Seke in Chitungwiza was robbed by a man she had initially intended to spend the night with in Mabelreign.

Abigail Khumalo met the unidentified robber in Harare’s central business district around 10pm last Thursday.

The man, whose name remains unknown, proposed spending the night together, to which she agreed.

The man persuaded her to accompany him to his presumed residence in Mabelreign.

The two boarded a kombi to Westgate and disembarked at the Westgate roundabout.

As they headed northward towards the man’s purported house, they reached a secluded spot where he abruptly seized her from behind, choking her.

Brandishing a knife, he forcibly took her belongings and clothes, leaving her unclothed.

A Good Samaritan passing by intervened, assisting Abigail and escorting her to the Avondale Police Station to file a report against her assailant, the unidentified “new lover”.

Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the incident.

Authorities are urging the public to come forward with any information that could aid in identifying the robber who vanished into the darkness after the incident.
