HIV positive sex beast raped own mum By Staff
Reporter The man whose name has been embargoed by a Bulawayo regional magistrate to protect the mother's identity faces a lengthy sentence next Friday. Admitting to the charge of common assault and rape, the man from the Dugwe area near the border with Botswana told a stunned court that he had committed the offence after a drinking binge and asked for leniency. “I admit to have raped her but I was under the influence of alcohol,” he said as he faced Bulawayo regional magistrate Jennifer Chikate. He was remanded in custody to allow HIV tests to be conducted on his mum, the Chronicle newspaper reported. The length of the sentence will be determined, to an extent, by the outcome of those tests, legal experts said. For the State, Patrobs Dube told the court that the man arrived home just after 9pm on the night of 28 October last year and found his mum sitting in the kitchen. He started shouting at her, claiming she was disrespecting him. His traumatised mum dashed for safety but the son gave chase before launching a sustained assault with clenched fists, booted feet and sticks until she was unconscious. The man dragged
her mum's unconscious body back to their home where he tore off her
clothes and raped her once. |
