RAPE SUSPECT ARRESTED DURING CHURCH SERVICE

MBABANE – A place of worship turned into ‘a scene of crime’ at Macetjeni when an alleged serial rapist was arrested during a church service.

The suspect, Sibusiso Wonder Gina (32), is facing six counts of rape and three of robberies.

The police allegedly found him in ‘high spirit’ worshipping with other congregants when they pounced on him. This was after they had received information from a community police member that Gina was among the congregants on that day.
He is alleged to have raped six pupils in different places around the country. Gina, who now wants out of prison, disclosed this in his application for bail which is, however, being vigorously opposed by the Crown.

He claimed that the fact that he was arrested during a church service was evidence enough that he was not a flight risk.
“It is not true that I am a flight risk, as proof, I was arrested during a church service in my community in Macetjeni. I never evaded arrest,” contended Gina.

In his opposing affidavit, the investigator of the matter, Detective Nkululeko Nkambule from Big Bend Police Station, insisted that the accused was a flight risk. He also informed the court that the community of Big Bend was outraged because of Gina’s actions and they were threatening that should he be released they would kill him.

The law enforcer further pointed out that when the accused allegedly committed the offences, he would threaten the survivors that should they report the matter, and that should he be arrested, he would kill them upon his release.
