The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) tweeted about a chilling incident where a mother (30) allegedly raped her son (6) repeatedly over the last few months.
The woman from Mpopoma is said to have appeared before Western Commonage magistrate Shepherd Mnjanja after her son shared the ordeal with his friend who then told his mother. The friend’s mother is the one who then made sure the issue was reported.
The identities of both mother and son have not been revealed as it is a sensitive case involving a minor. Allegations against the woman are that from January this year up to 13 March, the woman enticed her six-year-old son to be in between the sheets with her.
The son is said to have refused but the woman threatened to beat him with a cable if he did not meet her demands. The woman was not asked to plead and she has been remanded in custody to the 22nd of March for routine remand. The magistrate advised her to apply for bail.
