A Cape policeman had allegedly watched while two men repeatedly raped his wife after they broke into the couple’s home.
Const. Noloyiso Rwexana police spokesman told Maroela Media the couple was attacked on January 28, 2015 at about 03:00 in their home in Mandela Park, Khayelitsha after which the woman was allegedly raped.
Rwexana said police were investigating a case of robbery and rape. No one was arrested in connection with the incident.
According to the Daily Voice, the couple woke up when the two burglars shone torches in their faces. The police officer’s brother told the newspaper that the robbers knew his brother was a police officer and asked him for his service pistol.
“When they could not find the gun, they pressed a gun against his head and ordered his wife to take off her clothes. They forced him to watch them gang-rape her.”
According to the report the robbers pushed a screwdriver against the police officer’s eye. “They told him they do it because they know he’s a police officer and that his work is bothering them.” They fled the scene after stealing cellphones, wallets, clothing and meat.
Rwexana have appealed to anyone who can assist the police with the investigation, to contact Warrant Officer. Esterhuizen at 021 363 9024.
