FOUR Harare women ganged up to humiliate a suspected commercial sex worker by undressing her in public and inserting their fingers into her private parts.
That was after Moreblessing Ngome (29) caught her husband red-handed in a compromising position with the woman in their matrimonial bedroom before mobilising her friends who allegedly helped her to assault the woman.
One of them recorded the act and the video went viral on social media.
Ngome is jointly charged with Emily Mabwe (20), Judith Muchenje (23) and Diana Chibanda (32) and her trial starts on June 9.
The quartet appeared in court last Friday before magistrate Mr Milton Serima, who advised them that their docket was now complete and that they would face trial on June 9.
When they initially appeared in court, Ngome denied inserting her fingers into the woman’s private parts, saying she only punched and slapped her before handing her over to her accomplices while she went into the house to pray.
Chibanda denied all the allegations against her while Muchenje told the court that she only fondled the woman’s breasts and mocked her.
It is the State’s case that sometime in March this year, Ngome’s husband, Brian Moyo took the woman to his house and sneaked her into his bedroom while his wife was sleeping in the kitchen.
Ngome woke up the following morning and went to the bedroom where she saw her husband in bed with the suspected hooker.
It is alleged Ngome teamed up with her accomplices Muchenje, Chibanda and Mabwe to assault the woman.
They slapped and punched her and later used sticks to beat her, the court heard.
They undressed her and wore plastics on their hands before inserting their fingers into her private parts.
They forced her to dance undressed, the State alleged.
