A Zimbabwean man has been caught by his wife in the process of having sex with his niece, who also doubles as his ‘girlfriend’

The 45 year old man was caught twice by the wife having carnal knowledge of his 16 year old niece. The niece however claimed it was rape in the first place, but when they were caught the second time, then woman raised alarm.

Before the wife could report the matter to the police, the husband pleaded for mercy and was given a reprieve. But having the incident occur the second time could not regarded as rape anymore and she reported the issue to the police

A source close to the matter alleged that it was then discovered the two were lovers.

“Upon investigations it was discovered that the pair were in love and the niece admitted to the investigators that they were in love,” said the source.

The only criminal charge that could stick was incest and the two have since appeared before Kezi magistrate Arafat Kozanayi.

In court the teenager told the magistrate that she initially screamed rape because had the affair been exposed it would have tarnished her image within the community as she was scared her friends will make her a laughing stock and also she also feared that her aunt will at the same time send her packing from her home.

“I felt the incident was going to tarnish my reputation in the community and my peers were going to poke fun at me. And also I feared my aunt would chuck me out of her homestead,”she said.

The uncle apologised for his abominable act.

The pair will be sentenced on 24 April.
