‘GOOD SAMARITANS’ RAPE STUDENT A 22-YEAR-OLD student in Kabwe was last Tuesday afternoon raped by two strangers from whom she asked for a lift. The student is said to have asked for a lift from the unknown men around 15:30 hours from Freedom Avenue to a named university. The assailants instead diverted to a different destination and later dragged her in an unfinished house where they took turns raping her the whole night. Central Province Commissioner of police Standwell Lungu, who confirmed the incident, said the student was briefly observed at the hospital but was later discharged. Mr Lungu said a docket has since been opened and investigations to hunt for attackers launched. He, however, cautioned the public especially women against asking for lifts from strangers to avoid such incidents. “I can confirm that we are investigating a case in which two men who had given a lift to a student but later diverted and raped her the whole night at an incomplete structure,” he said. He said the student was later dumped in Kabwe’s Kang’ombe area the following morning. In another incident, Police are investigating a case in which three suspected criminals armed with a firearm and a slasher held two women of foreign nationality hostage after demanding to be given money at their home in Kabwe’s Luangwa Township. The suspects later after realising that the two women did not have cash forced them to drive to an Automated Teller Machines (ATM) in town where a K2,000 was drawn at gun point.
