She said, “On the 8th of July 2023 at around 0000 hours, the complainant was at a nightclub, near Mpilo hospital drinking beer with her friends. She went outside to relieve herself at a nearby bush, when she was about 200 metres away from the club, the accused person started throwing some stones at her, he then grabbed her by the neck and threatened to stab her with a knife if she screamed.”
Assistant Inspector further explained that the accused then forcibly dragged the victim to a secluded area near West Park cemetery, which was densely covered in bushes.
