By A Correspondent- 24-year-old Tadiwa Mangwende of Chinhamora appeared in court on allegations of aggravated indecent assault for sodomising his employer’s four-year-old son in a dog kennel.

Harare magistrate Mrs Judith Taruvinga remanded the 24-year-old in custody to 11 January next year.

Magistrate Taruving advised him to apply for bail at the High Court.

The court heard that between November and part of December this year, Mr Mangwende was left in charge of the toddler by his employers.

Mangwende is believed to have committed the despicable act during this brief period.

It is alleged that he lured the four-year-old to a dog kennel located somewhere in the yard.

When the boy arrived Mangwende overpowered him, removed his clothes and proceeded to sodomise him whilst covering his mouth with his palm.

The boy then started soiling himself and when his mother asked what was wrong with him he told her about the incident.

The incident was reported to the police leading to Mangwende’s arrest.
