A DANGAMVURA-BASED businessman who was having some quality time with his girlfriend inside a car parked in a maize field was robbed at knife point by two assailants who went on to take turns to rape his lover.
Police confirmed the robbery which recently occurred near Dangamvura Greenmarket.
Acting Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka said detectives are still investigating the case.
However, cops handling the case revealed that the entrepreneur who runs several shops in Dangamvura was making it out with his lover when the criminals pounced.
“On the day in question, the businessman picked up his girlfriend from Gimboki and went to a maize field close to Dangamvura Greenmarket and became intimate. Two unknown assailants approached them and ordered them to surrender their cellphones and cash.
“The suspects were armed with Okapi knives and threatened them with death if they resisted. The businessman was only wearing a pair of trousers which were dropped to knee level, while his girlfriend was only wearing a blouse.
“The businessman surrendered his cellphone and US$20. He tried to run away, but was pursued by one of the assailants who assaulted him. The suspect removed his pair of trousers and allowed him to escape naked. The businessman was picked up by a motorist who ferried him to Dangamvura Police Station to make a report,” said the source.
However, his girlfriend was not so lucky as she was raped by the criminals.
The suspects disappeared into the darkness.
