It will be recalled that suspected herdsmen numbering about six had, on May 14, raped a married woman and beat her husband to pulp at a farm in the same community.

The victim, who is currently receiving medical treatment in an undisclosed hospital in Auchi, in a telephone interview with newsmen in Benin-City said the incident happened between 9 am and 10 am.
