Girl Gang-Raped On Her Way From School

Two men allegedly raped a Form 3 student who attends one of Mogoditshane junior secondary schools. The rape happened at Tsolamosese while she was on her way home from school on Friday afternoon.

The men allegedly stopped their vehicle next to the 15-year-old girl and forcefully dragged her into their car, covered her face and took her to a house where they took turns raping her. After repeatedly raping her, they allegedly took her back to the spot where they had abducted her, dumped her on the street and drove away. The girl reached home, informed her parents about the incident and they reported the matter to the police. Mogoditshane police registered a case and started investigations. Police are on the hunt for the two suspects, who succeeded in fleeing unidentified, as they had covered the victim’s face.  The girl was taken to a hospital where doctors examined her and confirmed she had been raped.

“It is a heinous crime, we will do everything to bring the culprits to justice. Sadly the girl could not identify them nor the place where she was taken to because they had covered her face all along,” the Officer Commanding (OC), senior superintendent Counsel Moyo told The Monitor. He said the girl said the suspects accosted her at around four in the afternoon.
