Woman raped in uMgeni Park
Officials say they are working tirelessly to track down the man who raped her.
POLICE are on a manhunt to track down a man believed to have raped a woman in uMgeni Park yesterday. The victim was reportedly attacked in Kelvin Place in the early hours of the morning.
W/O Leon Audh, spokesman for the Greenwood Park Police Station, said the alleged rapist gained entry through one of the windows in the woman’s bedroom.
He said the victim had gone to investigate a noise when she saw a man, wearing a striped T-shirt and short pants, breaking into the premises.
“As she attempted to call for help, he entered the premises and threatened her with a knife,” he said.
He then forced the woman to lie down and sexually assaulted her, but not before taking her cell phone and an undisclosed amount of cash. He later fled the scene.
This follows an attempted rape on eMdloti Beach last week.
