The trial of the serial rapist and murderer of Chipinge begins on Monday

The trial of 62-year-old alleged serial rapist and murderer Daniel Chauke from Chipinge is scheduled to begin this Monday, June 10, at the Chipinge Magistrates Court.

According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Chauke is accused of six counts of rape and three counts of murder.

The allegation is that Chauke raped a woman (69) who was coming from her field on April 3, 2022. He approached the plaintiff and told her that her grandchildren had stolen his property in his house.

Chauke struck the plaintiff once on the right cheek, causing her to fall to the ground. He tied her hands and mouth and drove her into a bush where he raped her.

On May 3, 2022, Chauke allegedly raped a 60-year-old woman who was harvesting maize in her field. He accused the plaintiff of stealing an animal which he caught with a snare before driving her to a bush area where he raped her. After the act, he took the plaintiff’s phone and walked away.

Chauke is alleged to have committed four other similar offences between July 2022 and April this year, involving a 46-year-old woman, a 23-year-old woman, a 71-year-old woman and a 36-year-old woman.

He was finally arrested on 27 May 2024 in Usange in Chipinge.
