Pregnant woman kidnapped
He allegedly told her she was useless as she could not make money for him. The woman indicated that he was planning to send her to a foreign country as a prostitute.
ZWELISHA – A young woman was recently kidnapped by a foreign national and brutally assaulted until she miscarried.
The whole saga started when the 18-year-old woman was waiting at a stop sign for a taxi to the CBD, where she works as a hair dresser.
According to police, the woman was offered a lift by an unknown man but turned it down. When she refused, the man forced her inside the vehicle.
He allegedly drugged her. She slept in the car for hours until she woke up in KwaZulu-Natal and then was locked in a room.
After a few hours, a man with a foreign accent came into the room and examined her.
He discovered that she was one month pregnant and became furious. He then assaulted her.
He allegedly told her she was useless as she could not make money for him. The woman indicated that he was planning to send her to a foreign country as a prostitute.
The woman chatted with someone on Facebook. It is suspected that the same person might be the kidnapper.
The spokesperson of the local police station, Lt Jabu Ndubane, confirmed the incident, saying police worked tirelessly to ensure the woman was returned to her loved ones.
“A case of kidnapping has been opened even though the unknown suspect is still at large. Police worked tirelessly, tracing the woman’s whereabouts after her mother reported her missing.
She was eventually found on the streets of Phumalanga township at Hammersdale in KwaZulu-Natal,” explained Ndubane.
She warned people to be cautious on social media, especially Facebook.
“People must not just accept friend requests or ask for lifts from strangers because these days criminals are using social media to do their dirty job,” she concluded.
