A 17-year-old girl was ab­duct­ed and raped by a PH taxi dri­ver on her way to school on Fri­day.

 

Po­lice re­port­ed that around 7:25pm on Fri­day the vic­tim and her moth­er re­port­ed to the Las Lo­mas Po­lice Sta­tion what hap­pened.  

The moth­er said when she ar­rived home from work at around 6.20 pm her daugh­ter re­layed the hor­rif­ic in­ci­dent, and they both made their way to the po­lice sta­tion.  

The teen said around 5:50am she was stand­ing at the cor­ner of Solomon Dri­ve, Chin Chin Road, Cunu­pia await­ing her school trans­port when a man of African de­scent, who she does not know ap­proached her, stuck a knife at her waist and told her, “So hear what hap­pen­ing, doh move, if yuh move I would kill yuh.” 

The said man then pushed her to­wards a blue car that was parked near­by and pushed her in­to the back­seat. The at­tack­er then en­gaged the child lock be­fore dri­ving off. 

 

The man then stopped at Chin Chin Road Junc­tion where he stole the girl’s Sam­sung S25plus, val­ued $8000.00TTD, and switched it off. 

He then took her to an apart­ment where he sex­u­al­ly as­sault­ed her.  

Around 1:40pm the man dropped her off at Solomon dri­ve, Chin Chin Dri­ve, Cunu­pia and fled.  

The man was de­scribed as be­ing of African de­scent, tall, skin­ny, dark in com­plex­ion, bald head­ed, beard with patch­es and mus­tache. He was wear­ing a red and white cap, plain red jer­sey, light blue three-quar­ter jeans, and black belt.
