A PACKED Johannesburg High Court relived the horrific rapes of two paramedics when the presiding judge began to hand down her judgment yesterday.

The packed public gallery at court 2B yesterday heard Judge Sharise Weiner giving details about how the women were laughed at by their perpetrators, forced at gunpoint to perform oral sex and to exchange underwear after they were raped.

The two paramedics, one of whom was served with divorce papers by her husband after the rapes, were attacked by three men on the evening of March 5 2010 in Durban Deep, Roodepoort, after responding to an emergency call.

The women were treating an 18-month-old burn victim when three men pounced, robbing them of their cellphones and cash before dragging them to an open veld where they took turns raping them.

The two accused, Richard Tshifhiwa Luruli, 29, and Michael Khorommbi, 30, maintained their rights to remain silent and tendered no plea on 15 counts including rape, sexual assault, robbery with aggravating circumstances and possession of unlicensed firearms with ammunition.

The hearing continues today.

This takes monstrous to whole new lows.

I cannot understand how anyone gets joy out of something as sweet as sex when the other person is screaming and struggling. To then top that with a baby in need of urgent medical attention makes me wonder if these things are even vaguely human. One thing for sure - they certainly don't deserve to be breathing the same air as the rest of us

As if she brought this upon herself! You'd think this is when she needs her husband's support and understanding the most. Flemza! tjeerrrr!

I have no idea why so many Black men rape! It is apparently small consolation that I have never and pray God will never rape a woman. I am teaching my son to emulate me. I speak to my friends about it.

@Flemza Ooohh but you're a jerk hey I mean really now


Im still yet to understand the joy rape brings to the perpetrators, what is it that turns them on with watching women/kids cry pleads while they are raping them? Do they know the pain they put their victims through? Do they care at all? I mean as a man who was born by a woman what does it say about you? And then they end up walking free, victims failed by the ppl who should love and protect them and failed by the justice system shame sad
