An Ari­ma woman is be­ing ques­tioned in con­nec­tion with in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to last week's rape of a moth­er and daugh­ter in Long­denville. Po­lice prob­ing the in­ci­dent said items be­long­ing to the vic­tims were found in the woman's pos­ses­sion. On Mon­day night, of­fi­cers from the Ch­agua­nas CID, led by act­ing Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent John­ny Abra­ham, went to a house near Vic­to­ry Heights. In­ves­ti­ga­tors said they found the fe­male sus­pect with a chain and pen­dant be­long­ing to one of the vic­tim's. The vic­tim's name was in­scribed on the pen­dant. The fe­male sus­pect was tak­en to the sta­tion where she was ques­tioned for re­ceiv­ing the stolen item.

Last Thurs­day, a 49-year-old bank em­ploy­ee and her 17-year-old daugh­ter were raped by four men at their home in Long­denville. The in­trud­ers stole a quan­ti­ty of cash and jew­el­ry be­fore es­cap­ing in the vic­tims' ve­hi­cle. On Mon­day, the woman and her daugh­ter were dis­charged from hos­pi­tal and were tak­en to a safe house in an undis­closed lo­ca­tion. A se­nior Cen­tral Di­vi­sion of­fi­cer said: "We have asked the fam­i­ly not to dis­close in­for­ma­tion about their where­abouts, not even to their rel­a­tives. This is a se­ri­ous crime and we are do­ing all we can to pro­tect them."

Three of the sus­pects, be­tween the ages of 18 to 23, were ar­rest­ed over the week­end. They are ex­pect­ed to ap­pear be­fore a Ch­agua­nas mag­is­trate to­day. Hours af­ter the in­ci­dent, two of the sus­pects were held at their homes at Con­struc­tion Street and School Street, En­ter­prise. On Sat­ur­day an­oth­er sus­pect sur­ren­dered to po­lice in Port-of-Spain. The search is on for the fourth man who promised po­lice he would turn him­self in on Sat­ur­day. Up to yes­ter­day he re­mained at large. Act­ing Sergeant Su­san John is con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
