News24 reports that two Free State police officers have appeared in the Kroonstad Magistrate’s Court in connection with a rape that was reported at a guesthouse.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) said the officers, both aged 25, were arrested after the alleged rape at the guesthouse in Kroonstad on 8 June. IPID spokesperson Phaladi Shuping said the two officers allegedly met two women, both aged 21, at a nightclub where they had been drinking. “They later agreed to go together to the guesthouse. One police officer allegedly raped one of the women, and a case was opened,” Shuping reported. The officers face charges of rape and conspiracy to rape. One of the officers was provisionally released pending further investigation. The case against the second officer was postponed to 19 June for a bail application. The two officers are stationed at Bloemspruit and Heuningspruit.
