THE KURUMAN SAPS Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences unit has requested the public’s assistance in locating a “person of interest” in connection with a rape case.
Northern Cape police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Sergio Kock said two women allege that on December 3, 2022, at 00.10am, they were walking home in Seoding Village when they received a lift from an unknown man in a white Ford Ranger double-cab bakkie.
“The suspect dropped off one of the females at her house and then proceeded with the other female (the victim) to an unknown shack, where he allegedly raped her,” said Kock.
“The suspect locked the victim inside, but she later managed to escape through a window.
“The unknown male suspect speaks Setswana, is about 1.6m tall and is between the ages of 35 and 38. He is further described as being dark in complexion and was wearing a red-and-white Manchester United Nike T-shirt.”
Anyone with information or who can identify the person in the identity kit is urged to contact the investigating officer, Warrant Officer Tumi Babeile, on 082 492 3920 or 053 712 9800, or provide information via the MySAPS app.
