A male nurse who allegedly raped a terminally ill cancer patient in a Bloemfontein hospital will appear in the city’s magistrate court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Last month, the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court postponed the matter for a final decision from the provincial office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).<\/p>\n
The postponement was due to the advocate handling the DPP’s case having been injured in a recent vehicle accident.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old nurse was arrested after a 50-year-old cancer patient alleged that she was raped during a night shift at the National Hospital.<\/p>\n
The sick woman’s husband told police the attack happened on October 15.<\/p>\n
The patient, who has since died, could not identify the female accomplice who allegedly helped the man.<\/p>\n
According to the patient, a woman nurse held the woman down while a male nurse raped her.<\/p>\n
The man is out on bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
