Mlungisi Moyo pleaded not guilty to the charge when he appeared before Plumtree magistrate Joshua Nembaware last week.

The uncle instructed her to lie down before assaulting her with a whip several times on the back.

He continued to abuse his niece physically on different occasions.

On December 17 at around 8am, an axe wielding Moyo summoned the complainant to his bedroom and said: “I will kill you in English.”
