DURBAN Central Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit detectives are appealing for help in finding two males who have been accused of being involved in two cases of rape. The police are hoping to find the men to gather information for the investigation of rape and sexual offence cases.

Case 1:

According to Detective Constable Majola, it is alleged by the complainant that on January 16, at 03:00, a 29-year-old victim was sleeping in a hotel on Dr Pixley Kaseme Street, when a friend who booked her room came into the room. “He wanted to use her cellphone to download an email. While he was inside the room, he raped her and took her laptop. He then left the room, and he blocked her contact,” said Majola.

On the same day, after school, the mother took her daughter to a doctor who confirmed that she was raped,” said Majola.

Police believe that the males in the identikit can be of assistance in solving the cases.
