People from Zaka were recently left tongue tied after it emerged that a 41-year-old man had been raping his biological daughter for the past seven years.
The man is said to have been raping his daughter since she was 10 years old.
Sources privy to the incident said the matter came to light after he infected the child with an undisclosed Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI).
Upon being quizzed at the local clinic, she was asked to bring her boyfriend for treatment and that is when she implicated her father.
“He infected her with an STI and she got treated, and then went back after some time with the same problem and that is when the nurses asked her to bring his lover who had infected her so that both of them could be treated. She told the nurses that she could not and when quizzed she revealed that her father had been raping her,” said the source.
The nurses are alleged to have then contacted Zaka police leading to the arrest of the suspect on September 09, 2021.
The man appeared before Chiredzi regional magistrate’s court and was remanded in custody.
Sources said the man had been staying with his daughter and his other wife after separating with her mother.
