Two Epworth women who shoved a cooking stick into 15-year-old girl’s privates as a way of establishing if the minor was still a virgin have appeared in court.
According to NewsDay, the incident, which left most residents shocked, occurred on November 12 last year in Overspill where the two women, Shelter Senga and Fungai Jera, reside.
The teen reportedly screamed for help and a neighbour, who responded to the distress call, caught the suspects in the act and ordered them to immediately stop, but the damage had already been inflicted.
As if that was not enough, when the neighbour left, the two women are said to have locked the teenager inside their house and went away.
They allegedly detained her for a night and only released her the following morning.
On Thursday this week, Senga and Jera appeared at the High Court facing a charge of aggravated indecent assault.
They were seeking to be remanded out of custody on bail pending trial, but their matter could not be entertained by Justice Owen Tagu because the State had not filed its response.
The matter was postponed to Thursday next week.
