Man arrested for sexually assaulting relative

A 44-year-old man is now in Police custody after he allegedly sexually assaulted a 37-year-old West Coast of Demerara (WCD) woman on Friday.
According to Police, the woman, who is a relative of the suspect, told investigators that on the day in question, she overheard him saying that he wanted to perform oral sex on her, but she did not pay him any mind.
However, after retiring to bed, at about 23:00h on that same day, and while she was asleep, the suspect allegedly entered her room and began touching her body inappropriately which resulted in her waking up, and immediately raising an alarm.
The suspect escaped from the house on foot. However, the police managed to arrest him shortly after, and he is presently in Police custody while investigations into the matter continue.
