Police hunt Essequibo rapist
Police are insisting that “unless they apprehend the suspect in the case of the 58-year-old woman who was raped recently, they would not be able to positively identify a fingerprint.
The woman, formerly of Devonshire-Castle, on the Essequibo Coast, tearfully related that she was asleep when suddenly she was awakened by a scratching sound emanating from her house.
The woman added that at first she thought it was the sound of a rat but as she forced herself out of bed she was confronted by an intruder, who proceeded to ransack her house with the aid of a torchlight.
The terrified woman who lives alone said that after the man, who was armed with two cutlasses and a knife was through ransacking her house; he then asked her for “wife”.
She said she told the man she was a “big woman” and he replied saying he was a” big man”. The woman said that the man then threatened her and proceeded to undress her before raping her.
She has since lodged a complaint at the Anna Regina Police Station and has also undergone a medical examination.
The woman said that the rapist carted away $4,000 in the process.
