<p>Three inmates at Bulawayo Prison were arraigned before Regional Magistrate Joseph Mabeza on Tuesday, facing allegations of raping a fellow prisoner, reported <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/3-inmates-in-court-for-raping-fellow-prisoner-at-bulawayo-prison/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ZimLive</span></a>.</p>
<p>The accused, Bhekimpilo Sinyoro (30), Thabo Ncube (24), and Arnold Chemhere (29), allegedly assaulted a 20-year-old inmate currently incarcerated at the facility.</p>
<p>The victim reported to the police that he was sexually assaulted during a power outage around 9 PM on December 29 of last year.</p>
<p>According to Prosecutor Dominic Moyo, the incident began when Sinyoro approached the victim, inviting him to sleep closer.</p>
<p>When the victim declined, Sinyoro returned with Ncube, and together they forcibly dragged him to their sleeping area.</p>
<p>Once there, the victim was made to lie on his side, and Chemhere allegedly covered his face with a blanket, pressing him down.</p>
<p>When the victim resisted, Sinyoro reportedly unbuttoned his shirt, and with the assistance of Ncube and Chemhere, forcibly removed his shorts. Sinyoro then proceeded to sodomize the victim.</p>
<p>After the assault, when the victim managed to free himself, the trio allegedly offered him rice and beans, possibly in an attempt to appease him.</p>
<p>INcube has a prior conviction for malicious damage to property and is scheduled to complete his sentence on February 1, 2025.</p>
<p>Chemhere was previously convicted of unlawful entry in aggravating circumstances, while Sinyoro had recently completed a 30-day sentence for theft and was arrested while leaving prison.</p>
<p>The three men were remanded in custody and are set to appear again on January 25 for their trial. They are represented by lawyer Takunda Chipisa.</p>
