Lower Gweru rapists jailed 37 years

Two men who last year broke into a primary school teacher’s house in Lower Gweru before assaulting and raping her in front of her children were this week each jailed to 37 years.

The teacher has since been transferred to another school.

Gweru regional magistrate Phathekile Msipa sentenced Knowledge Prince Nkomo (26) and Hloniphani Sibanda (28) each to 20 years for rape, 10 years for attempted murder and seven years for unlawful entry.
