A 58-year-old woman of New Amsterdam, East Berbice, Corentyne, is living in fear after she was allegedly raped by an intruder two Fridays ago in her home.

The woman related that she was stalked by the suspect who had visited her home and requested that she open the door, a command which she refused.

A few nights after, the accused returned and forcefully gained entry into her home by breaking down the door.

The woman, who lives alone, told reporters on Saturday that the suspect was armed with a bottle and threatened to kill her while committing the gruesome act and on completion, told her that he would return to “do it again”.

The elderly woman also related that she was humiliated by officers at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) at the Central Police Station, New Amsterdam, when she visited to make an official report.

The woman alleged that she was told by ranks on duty that she could not be raped, since she is a “junkie and a beggar”.

Her report was eventually taken by a rank at the Sexual Offence Unit of the said station and she was told to wait for a vehicle to take her for a medical examination.

After waiting for some time, she left the station, telling the officers “Goodbye and good luck”.

According to reports, the suspect has not been arrested and is roaming the streets freely.
