Man Rapes 60-year-old prostitute

A KEZI man has appeared in court charged with allegedly raping a 60-year-old prostitute.



Bernard Moyo, 36, denied the charges when he appeared before Gwanda magistrate Joseph Mabeza on Wednesday and was remanded in custody to June 5.



Prosecutor Johannes Tlou said the attack occurred February 2 this year following a birthday party attended by both Moyo and the woman at Antelope Old Hospital compound near Maphisa Growth Point.



The court heard that as the woman left the party to go home at Zhala Mine compound with a client, one Khaliphani Dube, Moyo followed them. He is alleged to have started hurling stones at the pair who then fled in different directions.



Tlou said Moyo charged after the woman and grabbed her by the neck. The woman screamed for help and Dube returned to try and help but was threatened by Moyo who then asked the pair to get intimate. Dube is said to have refused and walked away.



The court heard that Moyo then raped the woman, threatening her with an Okapi knife as she screamed for help again.



Dube later returned to the scene and accompanied the woman home. He later helped her report the attack to the police leading to Moyo's arrest.
