Mbongeni Nkomo of Chinongi area blamed the devil for his misdemeanor when he
appeared before Binga resident magistrate Mr Stephen Ndlovu. He was being
charged with indecent assault.
Circumstances as presented by prosecutor Mr David Shiku are that on 7 May, the
33-year-old complainant was on her way homefrom a local clinic when she met the
accused person along a foot path. The court heard that when the complainant met
Nkomo she was eating a maize cob and the lustful accused person asked for a
share of the maize cub but the suspicious complainant flatly refused.
As a punishment for 'being stingy', Nkomo then grabbed the bucket which the
complainant was carrying before grabbing her around her waist and forcibly
having a 'nice time' with her breasts.
The sexually-charged Nkomo, firmly held both her hands with his one strong hand
while the other handdisappeared into the woman's skirtt. The complainant was
only rescued by the voices of some villagers who were approaching on their
direction. Nkomo disappeared into the bush.
The woman reported the matter to the police leading to the arrest of the
accused. When asked by the magistrate why he committed the offence, the
remorseful Nkomo said he was working under the tutelage of Satan.
"Your Worship, can you be lenient with me. When I committed the offence I was
possessed by Satan and I do not know what I was doing," pleaded Nkomo, who
expressed some knowledge and interestin scriptures..
