A 39-YEAR-OLD inmate at Chikurubi Maximum Prison allegedly sodomised a fellow prisoner.
The suspect, Brian Shereni, appeared before Harare magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa last Thursday facing sodomy charges.
Prosecutor, Anesu Chirenje, alleged that the suspect was sharing Cell E at Chikurubi with the complainant on October 29 when the incident happened.
Shereni allegedly took advantage of the complainant who was in deep sleep and naked to sodomise him without protection.
Chirenje said the complainant was awoken from his sleep with a sharp pain in his back while Shereni was sexually assaulting him.
The complainant allegedly screamed and other inmates came to his rescue.
He reported the sexual abuse to the Zimbabwe Prisons Correctional Officers and a police report was made.
