A 36-year-old Harare man appeared in court this Thursday facing rape and murder charges after allegedly raping his five-year-old daughter before suffocating her to death with a pillow to conceal the heinous crime.
It is the State’s case that the crime was committed on March 3.
The state alleges the man fled the scene, leaving his biological daughter’s lifeless body on the floor. He was later apprehended and arrested.
The accused was remanded in custody and is expected back in court on March 25.
