Supreme Court sends rapist Kereke back to prison

FORMER Zanu PF legislator Munyaradzi Kereke is going back to Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison after the Supreme Court yesterday dismissed his appeal against a rape conviction and sentence.

Three Supreme Court judges Justices Tendai Uchena, George Chiweshe and Samuel Kudya dismissed the appeal in its entirety.

Kereke had successfully applied for bail pending appeal after serving three quarters of his sentence and is expected to serve 20 months remaining to complete his 14-year sentence.
