Father Blames Bat After Raping, Impregnating Own Daughter

In a disturbing case, a Zimbabwean man has been arrested for raping and impregnating his own biological daughter.

Incredibly, the accused father is blaming a bat for his foul deeds.

State prosecutor, Ethel Bhumhure, told the court that the accused and his daughter were staying together at a farm near Kwekwe.

Sometime in June, the father entered his daughter’s bedroom when she was sleeping and threatened her with death if she made any noise.

He then raped her once. He is alleged to have briefly left his daughter’s bedroom before returning and raping the complainant two more times that night.

Before leaving his daughter’s bedroom for the final time, he threatened her with death if she ever disclosed what had transpired.

The matter only came to light when the complainant’s aunt visited and discovered that she was pregnant. The teenager disclosed the rape to the aunt who then took her to the authorities to file a police report.
