Woman raped in front of boyfriend
A woman was raped in front of her boyfriend, before their home was ransacked, on Saturday, October 10.
The incident happened in Lindelani at around 5am.
“The victim (20s) and her boyfriend were sleeping in their shack, when a man pointed a firearm through the open window while two others forced the door open,” said Brig Poobalan Subbiah, Benoni SAPS acting cluster commander.
“The suspects demanded money, before assaulting the boyfriend and forcing him to lie down,”
Subbiah said two of the three suspects then took turns to rape the woman.
They stole a speaker, mirror and three cell phones to the total value of R5 000, after which they fled on foot.
The boyfriend said he can identify one suspect.
A case of house robbery and rape was opened at the Benoni Police Station and the matter is still under investigation.
