A SUSPECTED robber was dragged to court yesterday after he robbed and raped two women in the Domboshava area and the police believe there could be more victims who are yet to come forward.
Willard Kudakwashe Jonifati, 25, was not asked to plead when he appeared before regional magistrate Marewanazvo Gofa.
He was remanded in custody to July 23.
The brief allegations are that on March 4, Jonifati lured the first complainant, who is 35, at Mverechena Business Centre, Domboshava, over the phone on the pretext that he had secured a job for her.
The complainant met Jonifati at Mverechena Business Centre at around 7pm.
He asked her to follow him as he led her to the place he claimed he had secured a job for her.
The complainant was allegedly taken to Mverechena Dam, which is in a bushy area, and Jonifati suddenly produced a knife and ordered the complainant to surrender her phones to him.
He went on to rape her twice and left her in the bushy area.
In the second count, Jonifati allegedly lured the second complainant to Molife turn-off in Domboshava, where he claimed he had secured a job for her.
As they got to the shops, he ordered her to hand over her belongings and she complied as they were waiting for the said employer, who did not show up.
On their way home, Jonifati raped her three times.
The two later proceeded to Mungate Business Centre where the complainant screamed for help and Jonifati was arrested.
She managed to recover her phones and money.
Anesu Chirenje prosecuted.
