A 33-year-old Zimbabwe National Army
soldier was reportedly forced to drink an unknown substance by three women who
later took turns to be intimate with him before dumping him in a bushy area on
the outskirts of Gweru.
After regaining consciousness, the
soldier reported the attack at Gweru Central Police Station. Police said the
soldier reported that the attack occurred last Sunday between 8am and 11:30am.
Midlands Police spokesperson
Inspector Leonard Chabata said the soldier was at Amtec Motors in Gweru
hitching lifts to Harare.
"A white BMW picked him at
around 8am. The vehicle had three female passengers and a man who was
driving," said Insp Chabata.
Upon approaching Ridgemont turn-off,
one of the women allegedly took a container from her handbag and sprayed an
unknown substance on the soldier. Insp Chabata said the soldier, who felt weak
after the substance was sprayed on his body, was then forced to drink some
unknown substance and fell unconsciousness.
"At around 11:30am, the
complainant gained consciousness and discovered that he had been dumped in a
bushy area about 100m away from the highway. He also discovered that his pair
of trousers and undergarments had been removed. All his belongings were at the
scene where he was dumped," said Insp Chabata.
He said the soldier, who suspected
that he could have been sexually abused by the women, later went and reported
the matter at Gweru Central Police Station. Insp Chabata appealed to members of
the public, who might have information that can help in the arrest of the
suspects, to approach any nearest police station.
"We are also appealing to
members of the public to always use public transport when travelling," he
said.
