BLOEMSPRUIT – Police are on the hunt for three unknown armed suspects who attacked an elderly woman in Bergman Square, robbed her of money and raped her multiple times. On Saturday 13 July 2024 at about 03:00, the 65-year-old woman was resting with other relatives at her house after overnight preparations for the burial of a loved one. While in their bedrooms, they heard sounds of someone breaking the door and three unknown males armed with knives stormed into the house and went straight to the 65-year-old’s bedroom demanding money. The 15-year-old boy who was sleeping with the grandmother was stabbed in the head and arm. The suspects took cash they found on the grandmother and one of them forced himself on her, raped her while in the house and dragged her outside, where he raped her again. The suspects took electronics from the house before they fled the scene. The grandmother managed to scream for help and neighbours came to her rescue but the suspects had already fled the scene. Bloemspruit police were summoned to the scene and are investigating a case of house robbery and two cases of rape. No one has been arrested yet. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspects is requested to contact Detective Sergeant Nombi Peter of Mangaung Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offenses Unit on 083 383 6969, Crime Stop on 0860010111 or drop an anonymous tip off on the MySAPS App. Ends
