Two teenagers from Gwanda have been remanded in custody after appearing in court facing charges of indecent assault and rape against a 16-year-old girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brighton Ndlovu (18) and Ntuthuko Moyo (19) from the Nhwali area appeared briefly before Gwanda regional magistrate Ms. Sithembiso Ndebele and were remanded to January 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prosecutor Ms. Karen Gundani outlined the state’s case, alleging that on December 14, the accused lured the complainant from a party and took turns raping her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ndlovu approached the complainant and proposed love to her but she refused,” said Ms. Gundani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court heard that later, Moyo allegedly deceived the girl, telling her that her grandmother wanted her home. After she left the party alone, the accused followed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNdlovu grabbed the complainant and kissed her by force\u2026 He then produced a knife and placed it on the complainant\u2019s neck,\u201d the prosecutor stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The state alleges Ndlovu raped the victim twice before Moyo also raped her as she tried to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The accused allegedly threatened to kill the girl if she reported the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She subsequently sought refuge at a nearby homestead, leading to the matter being reported to the police and the arrest of the two teenagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
