32 years old man was said to have raped his girlfriend’s grandmother.
It was reported that the suspect assaulted his girlfriend and sister. After they fled, the 74-year-old blind woman, who is their gogo was the only one left at the crime scene.
The suspect was arrested with the aid of members of Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit in Kathu, along with the Crime Intelligence Unit, SAPS Olifantshoek and local Detectives.
Lieutenant General Risimati Peter Shivuri Provincial police commissioner hails the law enforcement team for responding swiftly.
“Crimes against women and children, particularly the elderly cannot be tolerated and no effort will be spared in ensuring that the perpetrators are harshly dealt with in terms of the law”, Shivuri said.
However, he is to appear in court in few days, but according to South African Police Service (SAPS), his bail application will be opposed.
