Johannesburg - A woman was found assaulted and raped at a school in Malmesbury on Saturday, Western Cape police said.
“The young lady was found lying naked on the sports field of the Schoonspruit Secondary School by a passerby... She had severe head and facial trauma as if she was beaten with a blunt object. It was also confirmed that she was raped,” said spokesperson Constable Henry Du Rand.
The attack happened in the early hours of Saturday morning and she was found a few hours later.
