A Corentyne man is now in police custody after the relatives of three young men filed a rape report against him.
The suspect, 39, was arrested on Sunday after he was accused of sexually assaulting two brothers: a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old, and another lad, 16, from his community sometime between January 1 and October 8.
The Guyana Police Force yesterday reported that the complainants relayed that the suspect is known to them personally and as such their parents would grant them permission to carry out chores at the man’s house.
“On several occasions, separately the victims were threatened at knifepoint by the suspect who then committed the acts on them against their will and consent”, the statement by the complainants said.
The Guyana Police Force reported yesterday that the man remains in police custody assisting with the investigation.
