MUTARE — A 31-year-old man has been sentenced to an effective 17 years in prison for raping his four-year-old daughter.

The Mutare Magistrates’ Court convicted the man and handed down a total sentence of 20 years. Three years of the term were suspended for five years on the condition of good behaviour, leaving the offender to serve 17 years behind bars.

According to an NPAZ, the assault occurred earlier this year on April 28. The four-year-old victim, who resides with her maternal grandparents in a neighbouring village, had gone to visit her family when she found her father home alone.

Prosecutors stated that the man took advantage of the situation by calling the child into his bedroom, where he raped her. Following the assault, the offender ordered the young girl to return to her grandparents' home.

The crime was uncovered when the victim's mother became concerned after noticing the child was experiencing difficulty walking. Upon further inquiry, the mother discovered that the girl had been raped by her father. The incident was subsequently reported to the police, which led to the man's arrest. - Zimbo LIVE Harare
