Prophet Rapes Client As Cure
Published: 2016 June 01 04:28:57 (5579 Views)
A self-proclaimed prophet of the Johanne Masowe apostolic sect (nguwo tsvuku) has been jailed for 12 years for raping a 20 year old client on the pretext that he was removing something from the womans privates.
Rickie Mutero of Chinamhora pleaded not guilty when he appeared before regional magistrate Mrs Sandra Mupindu, but was convicted on overwhelming evidence.
Allegations are that on February 16 the victim visited Mutero’s shrine seeking spiritual healing.
Mutero told her to return the following day alone for cleansing with a razor and her under garment.
He told the woman God had revealed to him that she had a growth in her privates which was the source of her misfortunes.
Mutero claimed only sexual intercourse would help drain the blood needed for the cleansing ceremony.
The woman refused to be intimate with him.
Mutero then ordered her to go and fetch water from a nearby dam.
He followed and raped her.
He took her blood and ordered her not to tell anyone saying that the cleansing ceremony would not work if she did.
The victim alerted her father leading to Mutero’s arrest.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison, but three were suspended for five years on condition that he does not commit a similar offence.
