The Provincial Commissioner in Northern Cape, Lieutenant General Risimati Shivuri has welcomed the sentence handed down earlier this month by Upington Regional Court.
Dawid Johannes Noah (39) was sentenced to five years imprisonment for attempted rape.
It was on 11 February 2017 at 22:00, at Rosedale when Noah broke into the 27 year old victim’s house and tried to rape her at knife point. The victim managed to push Noah against the wall and screamed for help.
Noah was arrested on the same night and charged with attempted rape.
Lieutenant General Shivuri has commended the investigating officers for their hard work and commitment in ensuring that perpetrators face the full might of the law. The sentence will send a strong message that Northern Cape Province takes crimes committed against children and women as a priority and will continue to put those responsible behind bars.
