Two nurses were reportedly abducted and raped by an unknown assailant in the early hours of Friday, January 10 at Chuene Clinic outside Polokwane, South Africa.
According to police spokesperson Brig Hlulani Mashaba, the incident unfolded around 12:30 a.m. when the suspect entered the clinic premises through the guardroom, where three security guards were on duty.
The assailant allegedly tied up two of the guards and forced the female guard to accompany him into the clinic.
Once inside, he found the two nurses, aged 47 and 28, robbed them of their cellphones, and then took them to a nearby bush, leaving the female guard behind.
Mashaba stated, “He instructed them to undress, sexually assaulted them, and fled the scene. The nurses managed to walk back to the clinic and were transferred to a hospital for treatment.”
The Limpopo police commissioner, Lt-Gen Thembi Hadebe, ordered a dedicated team to expedite the investigation and ensure the perpetrator is brought to justice swiftly.
