Warning issued to all women after Greenstone rape

An Edenvale mother has issued a warning to all young women after her daughter was pulled into a field and raped in the Greenstone area.

The mother, who cannot be named to protect the identity of her daughter, said the incident occurred on Wednesday evening last week.

“She was walking close to her house past the open fields next to Palliser and Aitken roads. Two men dragged her into the field and raped her,” said the mother.

The mother was told by police officers that it was the third such incident in the area this month.

“So many women walk past these fields every day. I need them to be aware so that this does not happen to more women,” said the mother.
