“The landlord is not home. The suspect is not home, neither is the survivor nor her family home.
“The survivor’s mum has been contacted on phone but she is not willing to cooperate with the police.
“Also, everyone on the street has declined assisting the police in any form. Radio silence!”
The police spokesperson added that investigation of the incident is ongoing.
