A woman was raped by two men yesterday (Monday) after the pair threatened to harm her baby.
According to information received from Brakpan police, the incident took place at around noon, as the victim and her 15-month-old son were making their way through the cornfield in Leachville, near Makro Carnival.
The victim was confronted by two men armed with knives, who demanded she accompany them.
When the victim refused, the men told her they would stab her son.
They forcefully took her child from her and led her to an area with long grass, where they searched her for valuables and told her to take off her clothes.
When she refused, the man holding her baby held his knife to the child’s throat.
The victim undressed and each man then raped her.
After debating whether to kill her and her baby, one of the men told the victim, “God saved you and your child.”
The victim was told to run and she sought help from a motorist near Heidelberg Road (R23).
A case of rape was opened at the Brakpan Police Station.
