The 58-year-old rape victim has finally decided to abandon her Devonshire Castle home. Some two weeks after she was raped and more recently doused with her own kerosene by her perpetrator, the woman decided that enough is enough.
The woman is of the view that something worse would befall her if she does not act swiftly while she has the opportunity.
She said that she could have been killed earlier this week after a man entered her home shortly after midnight and doused her with her own kerosene oil, while threatening to disfigure her face.
The woman said she was spared harm because she was not asleep and her loud screams for help alerted one of her neighbours, Gilbert, who ventured over at her premise and rescued her. Her attacker fled through a window.
The woman has since lodged a report and the dress she was wearing at the time with the police at Anna Regina.
The said man whom she had previously named in the incident of the rape was arrested and charged with Burglary.
He was released on $170,000 bail by Magistrate Sunil Scarce, at Leguan on Thursday.
One resident said that the number of women raped has now reached five. These incidents are not allegations; they are serious offences which the police need to address with utmost priority, a resident asserted.
Police have however said the man, who has been accused of raping another woman has not been charged for that offence as yet. No reason was offered.
Many vulnerable women, especially at Devonshire Castle on the Essequibo Coast, have reported similar incidences of rape and are living in fear.
