Rape accused arrested
A man who was released on bail several months ago, after he was previously charged with rape of a pastor, has been implicated in a second rape, this time involving a 58-year-old woman at Hampton-Court. The 52-year-old Hampton Court resident was arrested by police on Thursday.
The man was previously remanded on the initial rape charge but appealed to the High Court and was released on substantial bail. Police were previously relying on a positive identity to match a finger print in order to make an arrest.
Early Friday morning last the victim of Hampton Court, Essequibo Coast, said that she was alerted to strange sounds in her house. At first she thought that she was hearing a rat at work but as she got up to investigate, she said she was confronted by a man who carried two cutlasses and a knife.
The intruder had apparently ransacked her house and then proceeded to rape her.
After the rape the woman said that she related the incident to her neighbours who in turn informed the police.
