Pupil’s letter to school exposes rapist cousin

A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD girl from Victoria Falls has caused the arrest of her cousin who allegedly raped her sometime last year by writing a letter to the school head demanding justice after her parents allegedly concealed the matter.

The girl, who is a pupil at a private school in the resort town but resides at Aerodrome, was allegedly raped towards the end of last year by her 25-year-old cousin at her family home.

Matabeleland North police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Siphiwe Makonese said the alleged rapist has been arrested.
