Police investigate rape on the river

FRANCISTOWN: A Zimbabwean illegal immigrant was allegedly caught red-handed by the police raping a woman suspected to be a commercial sex worker on Saturday night near Tati River.

Reports say that another man on the scene took off when he saw the police. Sources say two Zimbabwean pimps lured their 22-year-old female compatriot from the infamous Area W red light district to the riverbed for short time sex. "These guys had agreed with the woman that they would pay her for short time after the act. But upon arrival at the riverbed, they forced her to have sex with them at knife point.

Their heinous act was cut short by a police patrol team who found them in the act. He was using a condom. His partner in crime showed the police a clean pair of heels when he saw them coming," said the source.
