Rapist strikes on Essequibo Coast

Mar 24, 2013 News

The police have so far been unable to apprehend the suspect who raped a woman yesterday because the woman was unable to give a visible description about the person who invaded her Bush Lot home.
This is the second attack by an unknown person on the woman.
The traumatized woman was accompanied to the Suddie Public Hospital by a female rank from the Anna Regina Police station, yesterday morning, after she had lodged a complaint.
According to reports, the woman, who is in her mid-forties and lives alone, was attacked sometime around 4:00 hours yesterday.
Reports are that the suspected rapist entered the woman’s home through one of her front windows.
It was reported that the man who carried a knife and torchlight shone the light into the woman’s face before raping her.
The man also cut the woman’s face with his knife before fleeing.
The same person who attacked and raped the woman attempted to enter another woman’s house in the area not long after but escaped after the woman raised an alarm.
Police are continuing their investigations.
