The teenager was taken into custody Sunday
A 16-year-old boy in Zimbabwe was taken into custody in connection with the rape and murder of a 53-year-old woman.
The suspect saw the victim walking alone and hit her on the head with a log. As she lay dying, bleeding profusely from the head, the teen raped her before stealing R1,700 ($118) from her and fleeing the scene. The incident took place in the town of Beitbridge East on Friday morning, local news outlet The Herald reported.
A 75-year-old Beitbridge man recently went berserk during a dispute with his live-in partner and killed her with a machete and an axe, before hanging himself.
Sitoboli Maluko killed Violet Ncube, 57, while his 16-year-old stepson watched in shock on Monday last week before hanging himself from a nearby tree.
Police officer commanding Beitbridge district, Chief Superintendent Tichaona Nyongo, said the bodies were taken to the Beitbridge district mortuary pending a post-mortem.
Chief Superintendent Nyongo said initial investigations revealed that Maluko and Ncube started cohabiting in January this year at Ncubeâs homestead.
He said on April 5 around midnight, Ncube and Maluko had a heated argument over an unknown matter in their bedroom.
