Woman arrested for inserting cooking stick into private parts of her 14 year old stepdaughter to test virginity

ZIMBABWE  – A 47-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly inserting a cooking stick in her 14-year-old stepdaughter’s private parts to test if she was still a virgin.

Allegations are that last month, the woman approached her stepdaughter, who was preparing to go to school, and ordered her to lie on her back.

The woman reportedly covered the girl’s face with a cloth before inserting a cooking stick in her private parts saying she was testing her virginity.

It is reported that after a week, the woman inserted her fingers in the girl’s private parts in continuation of the virginity tests.

The matter came to light on Monday after the girl told her class teacher about the incidents.

Police in Zimbabwe confirmed the arrest of the suspect saying she has been charged with aggravated indecent assault.

The police have since urged the Zimbabwena to desist from such acts as it is an offence
