FRANCISTOWN: A Cuban gynaecologist based at Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital (NRH) suffered a major blow after a magistrate court ruled that he has a case to answer in relation to allegedly raping a patient.

The 48-year-old Marco Antonio Cruz-Gurrero, allegedly raped the complainant in an ultrasound room on March 10, 2019 at NRH to satisfy his sexual lust. Cruz-Gurrero is also charged with another count of indecent assault that he allegedly committed on a different woman at NRH.

He allegedly committed the two offences during the course of his duties. Before he received the outcome, Cruz-Gurrero had previously made an application of a no case to answer through is attorney Thekololo Letsholo. But Chief Magistrate Faith Dlamini-Ngandu quashed Cruz-Gurrero’s dream of getting an acquittal and returning to Cuba when she ruled that he had a prima facie to answer in connection with raping the complainant.
