Three appear in court for raping an 83 year-old

Police in Limpopo have arrested three men in connection with the rape of an 83-year-old pensioner at the weekend.

The incident happened at Sereni village in the Hlanganani area on Saturday morning.

Police spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said the granny was asleep when two men with their faces covered with balaclavas broke into her house and demanded money before dragging her to nearby bushes where they allegedly raped and assaulted her.

He said the men then returned to the house and set it alight.

She was admitted to Elim Hospital and later died.

Mulaudzi said yesterday the arrested men were aged between 24 and 29, and they would appear in the Tiyani Magistrate’s Court today.
