Five men accused of necklacing a 19-year-old man appeared briefly in the Khayelitsha Magistrates Court, where it emerged that some of them had confessed to the crime.

Harare - A young Zimbabwe man who raped a 72-year-old woman was arrested after he was caught by neighbours fast asleep and naked inside her house, state media reported on Tuesday.

According to the Herald newspaper, Strive Vhune, 26, broke into the elderly woman's house in the southeastern district of Chivi, raped her, then fell asleep.

The woman went out to alert neighbours who caught him on the scene naked and handed him to the police.

“The suspect fell asleep soon after raping the woman who then took advantage and alerted neighbours who managed to apprehend him after he fled from the bedroom hut while stark naked,” police spokesman Tineyi Matake told the Herald.

“Vhune is in custody while police finalise investigations and he will appear in court soon,” Matake said. - Sapa-AFP

Pity the neighbours didn't beat the garbage to death. The public should not have to feed this rubbish in a jail. Kill the lot of them.

What is there to investigate? Why must he appear in court? He was caught red handed, tried to run, so hang him by his balls and then by his neck. Simple!!! One less bastard eating away at our taxes
