Residents in Buikwe District, Njeru Municipality were on Saturday left in shock when a 20-year-old unconscious woman was found in a car said to be abandoned by her rapist on Friday.

According to the Ssezibwa Region Police Spokesperson, Ms Hellen Butoto, the victim who is a worker at Nytil was trying to beat curfew and asked the stranger for a lift to Bugembe town. However, the car driver diverted to a nearby sugarcane plantation and raped her in the car.

“We are also investigating whether she was off duty at that time because guidelines issued to avoid the spread of Covid-19, say that everyone is expected to be home by 7pm. The curfew is still in force to-date,” said Ms Butoto.
Ms Butoto further said investigations to find the suspect that abandoned his car number plate UBE 249X are on-going. The vehicle is currently impounded at Njeru Police Station.
