A young woman from Carletonville was raped in her own home this week.

This crime took place at approximately 01:00 on October 12.

The victim (26) was drinking with her husband and their landlord at the house where they stay in Lignite Street in the central part of Carletonville.

She later went to bed while the two men were still busy drinking.

She was later woken up by someone touching her. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was a naked, unknown man.

He threatened her to stay quiet and then forced himself upon her.

The criminal then left the room.

The woman went to report the rape to the police in Carletonville the same day.
