TWO men have been arrested for a suspected case of sodomy.
The duo, identified as James Mapawu (40), of Kwekwe, and Praise Mpofu, of Gweru, are set to appear in court.
Midlands police provincial spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko, confirmed the arrest.
“I can confirm the matter was reported to the police and a scene was attended and the two suspects were arrested.
“Investigations are ongoing.
“The crime of sodomy, where men engage in sexual acts with other men, is a serious crime according to the laws of the country,” he said.
Sources are indicating that in July, James met Praise, who was masquerading as a woman, at a night club in Kwekwe.
“Something is not adding up in James’ version since he is saying that he proposed to Praise thinking he was a woman due to the dress code,” said a source.
“But, we suspect he was aware that this Praise was also into this sodomy.”
