Girl, 16, fights her way from abductors
By JOYCE INGIPAA LUCKY 16-year-old girl fought hard to escape from four abductors who wanted to rape and kill her last week.
The girl has told of how she managed to kick the car door open, struggled free and threw herself out of a moving car to flee from her assailants.
Recalling her ordeal, the girl, from Gerega at 6-Mile, said: “I was waiting for a Bus 9 at 4-Mile in front of a second hand clothing shop at 9am to go to work when two men came out from nowhere and pulled me into a car.
“There were two other men in the car. They then put a bag over my head so that I could not see them.
“The abductors held my arms and legs tightly and started fondling my body, breasts and tried to remove my pants. They had problems removing my pants because I was wearing another pair inside.
“When I resisted and struggled, they punched and assaulted me.”
She said the abductors then tried to remove her blouse and she heard them saying: “The girl is young and fresh, let’s rape her, kill her and dispose her body.
“I was feeling really weak because of the many punches but I told myself I had to be strong because I didn’t want to leave my family.
“When the man sitting near the door tried to pull my pants down, I kicked the door which flung open and I threw myself out of the moving car.
“He tried to pull my hair but instead pulled my bag.”
She lodged a report at the Boroko police station that same afternoon.
The station commander, however, couldn’t be reached for comment on the report.
“I am still shaking and scared to go out of my house. I feel unsafe to walk the streets,” she said.
Her aunt said: “My niece has been traumatised by the attack and she had been crying the past week.
“I am now scared of the community. It’s no longer safe for our young women and daughters to leave their home or to be in the public all by themselves.”
She is calling on the public to keep an eye out for suspicious men in suspicious vehicles.
“We must all work together to expose and catch such sick individuals in the car so that young girls are safe from them,” she added.
