The
suspect, believed to be the rapist who has been on the run
for sometime now, was taken into custody after a
23-year-old mother was attacked in her Lot 554 Canvas
City, Wismar home and struggled with him.
The
naked attacker fled from the woman’s house and made good
his escape after the 04:00h invasion of her bottom flat
residence.
The
victim said she was asleep when she felt something drop
between her legs.
When
I opened my eyes, the person had what seemed to be baby
oil in one hand and held on to my throat,”she recalled.
She
said she started fighting off her assailant and hollering
but when her aunt enquired, from within, what was
happening she could not answer because the intruder was
still holding her throat.
However,
every time she got the opportunity, she screamed and, on
realising he could not succeed in his quest, the man
grabbed something he had put down on the bed, either a
knife or an ice pick and stabbed her twice, she told the
Guyana Chronicle.
She
said the weapon pierced her right thigh and the inside of
the upper part of her left leg.
According
to her, the man entered the house by removing panes from a
louvre window and unlocking a door through which he fled
after the failed attempt at raping her.
He
was naked and wore a black felt hat which was discarded at
the scene and retrieved by the Police.
The
woman said her three children, aged four years, two years
and 11 months, were in the apartment at the time.
A
cousin chased after the fleeing man but abandoned the
chase for fear that the attacker might have been armed
with a gun as he threatened to kill when the pursuer
appeared to be gaining ground on him.
But
the man in detention was arrested on the basis of the
description given by the woman.
