A 31-year-old man accused of raping his 10-year-old daughter in the kitchen while the mother was sleeping in the bedroom, has appeared in court.
The man appeared before regional magistrate Ms Estere Chivasa who deferred the matter to today for trial continuation. In his defence, the man told the court that it was impossible to leave his wife sleeping in the bedroom and go on to rape his step-daughter in the kitchen.
He also said that the allegations he is facing were fabricated on the basis that he has been having problems with the girl's mother for the past four years. This was allegedly after the girl's mother found out an illicit affair with another girl he intended to marry, so she promised to fix him.
