Davison Mutizwa (44) who raped his friend’s sister (19) in his car after offering her a lift home on Christmas Day, will spend the next 11 years in jail.
A medical report revealed that the woman reportedly sustained internal injuries in her privates and bled for two weeks. Magistrate Ms Lucy Mungwari sentenced Mutizwa to 16 years in prison, but suspended five years on condition of good behaviour meaning Mutizwa will serve 11 effective years.
On Christmas Day last year, the woman went to a Christmas party with her child in Old Tafara suburb. At around midnight, she decided to go back home to the nearby New Mabvuku suburb and was accompanied to the bus stop by her brother. The victim’s brother stopped Mutizwa’s vehicle after recognising him and he assured his sister that she would get home safely since he knew him. Mutizwa drove to New Mabvuku and the woman gave him 25 cents which he said was not enough. He then parked his vehicle and started demanding sexual intercourse as compensation for the other 25 cents, after telling her that the distance cost 50 cents.
