An Essequibo woman was on Friday last brutally raped at Henrietta Village, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).

Guyana Times understands that victim was approached by two men, who reportedly knocked her unconscious before raping her.

According to reports reaching this newspaper, the woman related to Police that during the ordeal, she was in and out of consciousness. This publication also understands that the men violated the woman sexually with foreign objects during the ordeal.

Following the incident, a report was made to the Anna Regina Police Station and a medical examination was conducted on the woman.

Guyana Times was told by Police sources that the men reportedly videoed the rape and allegedly circulated the video. The Police have since intercepted a copy of the video and two persons have been arrested.

On Thursday, the two suspects were charged and placed before the Suddie Magistrate’s Court.

Zocan Albert, 36; and 21-year-old-year Recardo Force, both of Henrietta Village, Essequibo Coast were charged for the rape. The men were not required to plea to the charge when they appeared before Magistrate Sunil Scarce.

It is alleged that on November 6 at Henrietta, they had sexual intercourse with the victim (name withheld) without her consent. Albert is a salesman, while Forde is self-employed.

Police Prosecutor Ramsahoye Rambajue told the court that the men had brutally raped the woman, and as such, they should be remanded to prison. He added that in addition to committing the heinous act, they filmed the act and circulated it.

As such, the men were remanded to prison. The case will continue on December 9.
