“The man grabbed her and pulled her into the vehicle, where there were another two men.”
“They tried to rape her but she fought back, and it helped that her jeans were too tight to be opened. The men ended up taking her cellphone and pushed her out of the vehicle,” said Khomo.
She said police believe the men they have identikits of can assist in solving the case.
Anyone with information that can assist is urged to contact the investigator, Det Sgt Hle Masondo, on 071 875 9834 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
