A 20-year-old woman of Chikola Township in Chingola has been raped by two unidentified men who pounced on her as she was returning from market during late hours.
The assailants first beat up the victim severely before raping her.
Copperbelt deputy Police chief Byemba Musole confirmed the incident which happened on Sunday around 22:00 hours within Chikola area.
Mr Musole said the woman was on her way home when the assailants pounced on her.
The victim tried to flee but she was overpowered by the two men who first beat her before taking turns in raping her.
Mr Musole said the victim sustained a swollen face and injured eye and had to be taken to hospital where she was admitted.
He said no arrests had been made but that police had launched a manhunt for the culprits.
“Police have not yet made any arrest but we have intensified a manhunt to bring to book these culprits,” he said.
Mr Musole urged women to avoid the habit of moving unaccompanied in the night because this exposed them to unnecessary attacks.

Christianity, like all religion, is man-made, and therefore imperfect and subject to abuse. Religions have a lot in common with scams in how they work.

Some men are just insane. Why not just pick up a prostitute? Why rape an innocent young lady?

Sad situation,awkward hours tho,but……..this must not give thugs an added advantage,police must conduct patrols in such areas to curb such inhuman behaviors.
