Investigators of the Department of Public Safety are looking into the possibility that a 31-year-old woman may have been raped and assaulted after she was found almost unconscious behind a golf course in Chalan Kiya yesterday.
Sources from the police department said the woman, a Chinese national, was bleeding from the head and was only clad in T-shirt and underwear when the golf course’s security guard found her.
The police and ambulance responded to the call of the security guard.
The victim was brought to the Commonwealth Health Center for treatment.
