COPS STUNG AS RAPIST BUZZES OFF

AN alleged rapist has escaped arrest after trapping two policemen in a shack and opening a box of bees, police said. The policemen were inside the shack at the Duduza informal settlement near Nigel when the suspect closed the door and opened the box of bees. A 26-year-old alleged rape victim and her daughter were also stung by the bees while waiting for the policemen in the police van. The victims were all taken to hospital.
