Bloemfontein - The South Africa Police Service on Wednesday released facial composites of two men thought to be part of a gang of four who raped a married 20-year-old woman at her Riebeeckstad home, in the Free State.

Police in Welkom said the attack occurred on June 13 at about 8 pm. It appears the assailants initially said they were "looking for" the woman's husband, who is a Zimbabwean national. 

"The suspects are still on the loose and residents are therefore requested to assist in tracing these alleged rapists. Identikits were compiled," said Captain Stephen Thakeng.
