Infamous Hwedza assailants jailed 5 years

FIVE Hwedza women who filmed themselves assaulting a girl before inserting a stick into her privates have been jailed five years each.

Marondera magistrate Letwin Rwodzi yesterday convicted the accused persons, who included four juveniles, two aged 17 and one aged 16 and another aged 19, of aggravated indecent assault, cyberbullying, unlawful detention and assault.

Vimbai Mike (19) and a 17-year-old who was treated differently because she is married with two children, were sentenced each to an effective five years for indecent assault, one year for cyberbullying for posting the video on social media, one year for unlawful detention and another year for assault which will, however, run concurrently.
