Man rapes, infects daughter with HIV

A 29-YEAR-OLD Borrowdale man appeared at the Harare Magistrates Court yesterday on allegations of raping his 11-year-old daughter, resulting in her contracting HIV.

The accused, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the minor, was not asked to plead when he appeared before magistrate Rumbidzai Mugwagwa, who remanded him in custody to July 19.

It is the State’s case that in November 2016, the complainant’s step-mother went to her rural home in Centenary and left the minor with the accused person.
