Police in Berbice are on the hunt for a man who held down an Amerindian woman and had sex with her against her will in broad daylight.
The woman, who is 23 years old, reported to the police that she was at home with a three- year-old child and was only covered by a towel which was wrapped around her body, when the suspect forced his way in about 14:00 hours.
She said that from all appearances the man, who is known to her, was watching her throughout the day and waited until the other adult occupant had left the house before he pounced.
The victim, who resides at Rosignol, West Bank Berbice, told police that the man grabbed her by her hair and forced her into a room where he covered her mouth and had sex with her. The man then threatened to kill her if she screamed. He made good his escape.
The matter was reported and a manhunt was launched but up to yesterday the suspect was not captured.
