The suspect's freedom was cut short after the victim reported the incident in the morning to Rouxville police, who acted swiftly to arrest him. The 50-year-old complainant, who is also a victim, alleges that on 13 June 2026 she was at her neighbour’s house from 14:00 drinking. When it got dark outside, she decided to go to her place to sleep as she was already drunk. She further alleges that on arrival at her place, she entered the house and went straight to bed without locking the door. She stated that at about 20:30, approximately after 30 minutes of her arrival, someone opened the door, she said she raised her head to see who it was and she saw the suspect. She asked him what he wanted in her place. According to her, his response was: "kgale ke batlana le wena," meaning I've been looking for you for a very long time. The suspect strangled her and dragged her from one bed to another, where he undressed her and raped her before leaving the house. The complainant reported that she waited for daylight to report the incident.
