A 33-year-old male suspect was arrested recently for allegedly raping a 21-year-old University student. The incident took place at an apartment on corner Eloff and Wemmer Jubilee Street at 5am this past Sunday.
The victim had been at a party when she was offered a glass of wine by the suspect allegedly laced with a drug. She is reported to have passed out and discovered that she was naked upon waking up.
“She contacted a taxify for transport and realised that she wasn’t wearing any underwear. She then confronted the suspect before reporting him to security guards who then called the police”, says Captain Mbele.
Captain Mbele stressed the importance of vigilance when women attend parties and other social events. He specifically emphasised on the importance of not accepting already poured drinks from strangers.
