Abstract:
A young woman was returning home after work when
she was accosted by a man wielding a knife. She was
dragged into a nearby bush where the suspect attempted to rape her. She put up a substantial fight and was
able to flee the scene. She went directly to the nearest
police station to report the case. She was asked by the
police to accompany them in the hope that she might
recognise the suspect at the local taxi rank, which was
near the scene of the crime. She did in fact recognise the
suspect who was duly arrested. He denied any knowledge of the crime for which he was being apprehended.
The victim informed the police that she had remembered
biting the suspect on his right shoulder during the attack and ensuing struggle. The suspect was asked to
roll up his right sleeve where a possible bitemark wound
was observed. The suspect was taken into custody for
further investigations.
