A 20-year-old young woman who was assaulted and raped in Maputo earlier this month has succumbed to her injuries, and died at Maputo Central Hospital last Friday (January 24).
At the beginning of January, the victim, whose name we are not publishing, in order to protect her privacy, was beaten and raped by strangers in the Mahotas neighbourhood in the Mozambican capital.
The young woman, who has a one-year-old son, was seriously injured and was admitted to the intensive care unit of Maputo Central Hospital, Mozambique’s largest health unit.
Her family believes that her boyfriend was somehow involved in the heinous crime, because it was in his company that the young woman left her home late at night, to be found later in a ditch.
