A 17-YEAR-OLD girl from Mokgareng village near Taung was allegedly raped by a well-known employee of the North West Health Department at Taung District on Saturday night.
According to information, the alleged victim and her friends were hitch-hiking from Mokassa to Mokgareng village when they were picked up by the suspect.
It is alleged that the suspect dropped the friends of the victim and took her to Tamati’s storeroom in Mokgareng village, where the alleged rape took place. The alleged victim went home afterwards and allegedly informed her uncle about the ordeal.
A rape case was opened at Taung Police Station on Sunday morning. However, the North West police spokesperson, Lit Colonel Amanda Funani said: “Even though a rape case has been opened, no one has been arrested yet because of some technicalities in the evidence.
“We still have to conduct an identification parade. Police cannot just go out and arrest without following procedure, but please check with me on Monday and see if there is any development around this case.”
It is alleged that the police have also failed to go to the crime scene and collect evidence. Investigation continues.
