According to the provincial spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Phindi Mjonondwane, on April 28, 2017, the victim was asleep with her then two-month-old baby when Moyo, along with two other assailants knocked on the door and pretended to be police officers.

Upon opening the door the young mother was hit with a brick on her head. She was knocked unconscious and once she woke up, she found one of the men raping her and another of the men raped her thereafter.
