He took the items from washing lines around Nemhari area. Headman Nemhari called the hearing after reports spread through the village. Marimo appeared with his mother Fridah Chiweshe and several victims.
One woman discovered her missing underwear among the stolen items. The garment belonged to her deceased sister and held special meaning. She felt sick learning about its use during sexual acts. Marimo admitted using the stolen clothing for masturbation rituals. He described placing the underwear on his bed during these activities.
The accused man explained his behavior to court officials. He said he would imagine being with the women who owned the clothing. These acts occurred without the victims knowing or giving permission. Community members call these practices mubobobo rituals. Marimo showed no shame about his actions during testimony.

He feared terrible consequences if he revealed the identity. Community leaders must decide his punishment for these disturbing crimes.
