It was learnt that before the suspect raped the octogenarian, Joseph allegedly entered her compound and pretended to be picking some herbs and dispossessed the victim of her money and a mobile telephone.
A source disclosed that the suspect sneaked into the victim’s room through the window and forcefully had intercourse with her after threatening the octogenarian with a dagger.
“The woman was in her room and the suspect came around the house pretending to be picking herbs at the back of the house.
“It was the cry of the woman that attracted the attention of people on the street, who forced the door open and caught him naked. The people rescued the woman and took the suspect to the police station,” the source revealed.
While speaking on the incident, the suspect, who was just released from prison, said he did not know what came over him that made him commit the evil act.

“I didn’t know what I was doing that time. Something would tell me to steal or rape and I would do it. After that, I would blame myself for doing it.
