Around 4:30pm on May 15th, a distressing incident unfolded involving a woman who fell victim to an assault by five armed young men.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The incident occurred as she was making her way home along the vicinity of Abbott’s Farm Rd and Epicurean Drive, situated off Friars Hill Rd.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that she did not possess any valuable belongings at the time. Alarming as it may sound, two of the assailants forcefully took her into the nearby bushes and subjected her to a horrifying act of rape.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

During this dreadful ordeal, the woman’s daughter, who happened to be walking some distance behind her mother, noticed her handbag discarded on the ground near the roadside and let out a piercing scream.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Responding to the cry for help, a group of men working on a nearby farm rushed to the aid of the distressed women.<\/p>\n

Although it took approximately thirty minutes for the ambulance to arrive, the situation remained dire.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Additionally, repeated calls were made to 911, and it took roughly an hour for the police to finally arrive at the scene.<\/p>\n

The repercussions of this incident have left lives severely traumatized today.<\/p>
