Police spokesperson, Thandi Mbambo, says the teenage girl was raped following a robbery at knifepoint. She says the 18-year-old teenage girl was with her male friend studying in K8 Section when three knife-wielding men entered the house through an unlocked door. 

The alleged culprits reportedly demanded cash, searched the victims then raped the female victim. Mbambo adds that her friend tried to defend her but was stabbed in the head and neck and was then tied up with a rope. The suspects are said to have forcibly taken the victim out of the premises and gang-raped her again.

"Both victims' cellphones were also stolen. The matter was reported to the police and a male victim was referred to the hospital for treatment and later discharged. A case of house robbery, rape and kidnapping was registered for further investigation,” she adds.

"Anyone with information leading to the arrests of these suspects should please contact Detective Captain Jonassen Human at cellphone 082 850 8640 or call Crime Stop at 08600 10111, alternatively send information via MySaps App," she adds.
