Bartica woman allegedly raped in suspect’s car

The Police are on the hunt for a resident of Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), who allegedly raped a 20-year-old woman on Friday.
Police stated that on the day in question at about 18:00h, the suspect, who is known to the victim, invited her for a drink at Sixth Avenue Beach.
While taking the drink, it started to rain, thus resulting in both the suspect and the victim taking shelter in the suspect’s car.
The victim reportedly told the Police that the suspect forcefully took off her clothes and had unprotected sex with her against her will. The ordeal lasted for about four minutes.
The suspect then dropped her home, where she related what had transpired to a friend, who advised her to make a report to the Police. Police are currently looking for the suspect as investigations continue.
This comes one day after a 13-year-old was also attacked and raped at a village along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway. Relatives had reported that the teenager went to a nearby shop and was on her way home when she was attacked and taken to a house where the two suspects committed the act.
Police are yet to arrest the duo who are said to be from the same area.
