A Mutare woman was caught red-handed in bed with another man. She had to dance to the tune of her husband’s demands by agreeing to make a false rɑpe report against her lover to save her mɑrriɑge.
However, tables turned for Precious Nyamavara (22) when she appeared before Mutare magistrate, Ms. Perseverance Makala recently.
Nyamavara was charged with deliberately supplying false information to the Public Authority as defined in Section 180 (1) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, Chapter 9:23.
Ms Makala sentenced Nyamavara to perform 175 hours of community service at Dangamvura Police Station.
Mr Thom Nyatsuro prosecuted.
Mr Nyatsuro said on March 18, Nyamavara supplied false information to the police, indicating that she had been raped by Francis Godfrey Mududu.
“On March 18 and at ZRP Dangamvura, Nyamavara supplied false information that she had been rɑped by Mududu, her co-tenant. This was after Nyamavara and Mududu had been caught red-handed by the accused’s husband,” said Mr Nyatsuro.
He added: “On March 20, Nyamavara went to Dangamvura Police Station and gave a statement to the effect that she had lied that Francis Godfrey Mududu had rɑpǝd her. She said they were having an ɑffair behind her husband’s back.
“When the husband got wind of the ɑffa!r, he coerced her to file a false rɑpǝ report against Mududu for him to forgive her.”
However, guilty conscience got the better of Nyamavara, resulting in her visiting the police station to spill the beans.
When asked in court why she lied, Nyamavara said her husband forced her to file the false rɑpe report to save her mɑrriɑgǝ.
“My husband caught us red-handed inside the house with my l0ver (Mududu). He forced me to file a false rɑpe report to the police for him to forgive me and save our mɑrriɑgǝ,” she said.
