The Police have issued a wanted bulletin for 61-year-old Bhola Persaud of West Minster, West Bank Demerara (WBD), for questioning in relation to an accusation of rape. The man was accused of raping a child under the age of 16 years old.
The Police stated that the act was committed on October 11, 2023, at La Grange, WBD. As such, the Police are asking anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect to contact them on telephone numbers 264-2357, 268-2222, 268-2329, 911 or the nearest Police Station.
This is the second reported case of rape in just a few days.
Last Sunday, a man was arrested after he was accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old relative multiple times in 2021 and now in 2023.
It was reported that the suspect had been caring for the child since she was three years old. The child alleged that on April 2, 2021, the suspect returned home from work, took her into the house, and sexually assaulted her.
The victim later informed her mother of the incident and the suspect was scolded. Shortly after, the suspect committed the act again, this time on his farm.
The incident was once again reported to the mother but like the first time, she scolded the suspect and moved out of his house for some time.
However, on October 13, 2023, the victim was taking a bath at a creek near her home when the suspect followed her and touched her breast while she was changing her clothes.
This time, the matter was reported to the Police after the victim confided in her grandmother.
The suspect was arrested and is being interrogated with respect to the accusations made against him.
