A woman was raped after she was forced into a vehicle by unknown men and in a separate incident an eight-year-old boy was raped.
The first incident occurred on Friday, February 2 when a woman alleged that she was walking to her place of residence when a car stopped next to her; she recalls the vehicle being a grey Corolla.
One of the suspects inside the vehicle climbed out armed with a firearm and told her to get inside the vehicle.
As the woman climbed into the vehicle she became increasingly alarmed as there were another three suspects inside.

One of the suspects in the back seat used some form of cloth to cover her eyes while they drove away. The vehicle stopped and she was taken out and the suspects started undressing her, one of them raping her.
They loaded her back into the vehicle and drove with her back to the place where they found her. Before she climbed out of the car, the suspects took her handbag which contained various items; the suspects are unknown to the woman.
A separate incident, only recently reported, occurred between 2016 and 2017. An eight-year-old boy told his mother that his step brother raped him; the younger son explained everything to his mom.
The incident was discussed with the child’s father and certain steps had to be put into place for both children.
