Detectives at the KwaZulu-Natal Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Units ensured that justice was served to the victims of rape and sexual abuse in the province.
“A total of 15 suspects were convicted and sentenced to five terms of life imprisonment as well as a total of 95 years imprisonment for sexual related cases. A total of 236 suspects were arrested by detectives from the FCS Unit for various cases such as rape, sexual assault, assault, concealment of birth, kidnapping, attempted rape and other cases in September,” said provincial commissioner, Lieutenant General Khombinkosi Jula.
These cases remain under investigation by the FCS Unit.
“It is heart breaking to listen to women saying they have lost hope in the justice system and are left to fight the war on their own. I want to assure every women of this province that KwaZulu-Natal police will continue to fight, protect and work diligent to put the sexual predators behind the bars. The sentences handed over to the perpetrators during the month of September 2020 are a proof that we are leaving no stone unturned.”
