Four men arrested for raping Mpumalanga woman
Four men have been arrested in connection with the rape of a 43-year-old woman in Mhluzi near Middelburg on Saturday night.
Three other suspects are still on the run.
“The woman is said to have accompanied a relative who had visited the family earlier and, on her way back, she came across a group of men who were driving in a bakkie,” says Mpumalanga police spokesperson Donald Mdhluli.
“The men allegedly alighted from the vehicle then dragged her to a nearby room where they took turns in raping her. As if this was not enough, at about 05:00 am the next day another man, believed to be residing in the said room arrived probably from work.
“Instead of the man rescuing the victim, he too allegedly joined the queue and raped her after chasing all other suspects.
“Thereafter he fled the scene, leaving behind the woman who then reported the matter to the police.
Mdhluli says four suspects appeared in court on Monday.
The case was postponed to 11 October for a bail application.
