An 80-year-old woman has been raped in her Esigodini home in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal police said on Wednesday.
The woman was resting in her bedroom on Monday when she was raped by an 18-year-old neighbour, Lieutenant Joey Jeevan said.
He and the woman's grandson had been watching television, but he disappeared when the 15-year-old went to make tea.
