Black magic sperm? Gang of women arrested for drugging, kidnapping and raping men to steal their semen

Police seize 33 condoms from three female suspects

Alarming trend sees male hitchhikers drugged, sexually assaulted and dumped by roadsides

Police investigating a spate of 'ritualistic' kidnappings and sex attacks on male hitchhikers have arrested three women.



Detectives in Gweru, Zimbabwe, seized 33 used condoms from a suspect vehicle following reports of attacks on men seeking lifts in the town, as well as Harare and Mashonaland West.



Reports in Zimbabwe have described the alarming trend of male hitchhikers being offered lifts, but then being drugged and driven to secluded spots by female attackers.

The men are then forced into sex with the women, sometimes unprotected and at gunpoint, before the female rapists collect their semen and dump victims by the roadside.



According to the NewZimbabwe.com, three women have been arrested after police found 33 condoms in a vehicle in Lower Gweru last Sunday.

Midlands police chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Charles Makono said the women came under suspicion after asking officers if they could retrieve the bag of condoms from their car, which had just been involved in an accident.



The three women, named as Rosemary Chakwizira, 24, Sophie Nhokwara, 26, and Netsai Nhokwara, 24, all from Mkoba 4, Gweru, were immediately arrested along with the male driver on suspicion of multiple counts of indecent assault.

The driver also faces culpable homicide charges after the fatal accident in which a pedestrian was run over and killed.



Zimbabwe news outlet Nehanda Radio reported that the local police station in Gweru was beseiged by an angry mob who wanted to see the arrested trio.



One local resident in Gweru outside the police station last week said the three women were known in the town and regularly attended nightclubs there.



Harry Mohammed Misi told Zimbabwe's Nehanda Radio: 'We are shocked with what is happening in our society where men are now being sexually-abused by women. It seems now that tables have turned.'



'But how can they make a living through such acts? On this case, let the law take its course.



'We used to drink with them at Uptown Nite Club and we didn’t know that they were behind such cases.'









Police are asking for victims to come forward to an identity parade to help identify their attackers.



Investigators also hope to match the semen to some of the victims through DNA testing.
