Dbn granny handcuffed, raped Woman, 80, raped by intruder Gran fights off would-be rapist

Johannesburg - A 22-year-old man has been arrested for raping a 72-year-old grandmother in Butterworth, Eastern Cape police said on Saturday.

Spokesperson Jackson Manatha said the grandmother was asleep at home in Zingqayi village on Friday, when the man broke into the house and demanded money and a cellphone.

"The old woman had none of both. The suspect then pushed the woman down and raped her in front of her grandchildren aged six, 10 and 12," he said.

Manatha said the grandmother then went to her neighbours and reported the matter.

Manatha said the community members then went on a man hunt and apprehended the suspect.

The man was expected to appear in the Butterworth Magistrate Court on Monday.
