Members of the Nyanga Family, Violence and Child Protection and Sexual Offenses Unit (FCS) have vowed to bring the perpetrators of crimes against women and children to book. Four suspects were arrested this week for cases of rape which occurred in December last year in Crossroads, Cossovo and Browns Farm.
One victim came from a staff party with her colleagues when one colleague took advantage of her while they were sleeping, the second victim was raped by a shebeen owner and the third one came from a shebeen and was raped by her boyfriend’s friend while they were all sleeping together. The fourth victim was allegedly raped in Browns Farm by the suspect while she was waiting for her relative, the suspect had pretended to assist the victim to look for her brother but he took her to his residence and allegedly raped her.
The suspects had been sought since the incidents were reported to the FCS Detectives who worked around the clock resulting in their subsequent arrest.
Two suspects aged 25 and 31 are appearing in Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on 25 January 2019, facing charges of rape. The other two, aged 25 and 34 are due to appear in the same court once charged.
