A woman fled to the Primrose Police Station, last Sunday, after allegedly being raped in the Makause informal settlement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victim alleged that she left her shack last Saturday night to buy beer from a local tavern,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cOn her way home she was approached by two men, one armed with a sharp object.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe men allegedly demanded money from her and when she could not give them any they dragged her to an open field where they reportedly took turns raping her.\u201d<\/p>

The woman\u2019s ordeal did not end there.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the suspects allegedly took the woman from the field to his shack where he allegedly continued to rape her,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victim claimed she asked the suspect to set her free so she could go back home to her child, but he allegedly ignored her pleas and locked her in the shack.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman tried to escape and screamed for help, but this only woke her alleged attacker.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the suspect woke up he allegedly raped the victim again,\u201d Maome said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce he had fallen asleep again the woman was able to find the key for the locked door and escaped.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe came straight to the police station.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police were able to trace and arrest the 28-year-old suspect, using the description given by the victim.<\/p>\n

He was arrested on a charge of rape.<\/p>\n

Police are searching for the other suspect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appeal to the community not to walk alone at night as they make themselves vulnerable to crime,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n

The suspect has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where his case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
