A 20-year-old man from Magunje raped his employer’s daughter and impregnated her.

In March 2024, the man met a 12-year-old girl coming from school.

He dragged her to a nearby bush and raped her.

The man also raped the complainant while she was working in a tobacco warehouse on another day in March.

He threatened to attack her if she told her mother about the crime.

At some point in May 2024, the man fondled the complainant’s breasts and the woman told her mother about the incident.

A report was filed with the police to arrest the suspect.
