An 18-year-old woman was raped on Sunday after she was abducted from her Corentyne home by two bandits, who robbed her family.
According to information gathered, the two men, armed with a gun, attacked the family around 11 pm at their home and relieved them of a small quantity of silver jewellery and a cell phone.
However, unsatisfied with the loot, the men discharged two rounds and escaped into the backlands with the young woman.
Stabroek News was told that one of the men allegedly raped the girl before she was able to escape.
Police, who were responding to the report of the robbery, later picked up the girl, who was running out of the backlands.
According to Commander of ‘B’ Division Paul Langevine, the police are investigating the attack. He said no arrest had yet been made yesterday.
