Centane granny bites alleged rapist
A Centane granny has been lauded by the police for her bravery after biting her attacker during an alleged rape incident.
The Butterworth family violence and child protection unit this week arrested a 20-year-old man for the alleged rape of a 70-year-old woman who was sleeping alone in her home in Nxaxho village.
According to a police statement, the granny woke up feeling someone on top of her at 11pm on Monday night and bit the suspect, who then fled on foot.
Captain Jackson Manata said: “A case of rape was registered at Centane Police Station. The suspect will appear before the Centane Magistrate’s Court today (Friday) on a charge of rape.”..
