Two horrific assaults, both residential areas, including one in a neighborhood near city, have taken place in Ade. The time between the two cases is very close, within 24 hours, which caught the police by surprise, let us review the occurrence of these two cases, understand the case.
PARKSIDE
The first case took place on Tuesday around 12:45 in Parkside. The victim, a 20-something woman, kissed her boyfriend goodbye in the street around 11:30 before returning home to sleep. When she heard a stranger knock at the door, she opened the door naturally and was assaulted.
At the time of the attack, two other people in the house were asleep and unawakened. According to the victim, the suspect is about 183 centimeters tall, olive skin, short shaved hair, thick eyebrows, and heavy eye bags.
The suspect was accused of not having visible tattoos or piercings and speaking with an Australian accent.
O'HALLORAN HILL
Another case took place around 8 p.m. on Tuesday in O`Halloran Hill, according to the crime department. The woman at home alone heard someone knocking at the door and opened the door. The suspect then rushed into the house to beat the woman and commit sexual assault.
In this case, the suspect was described as Caucasian, dark-skinned, about 183cm tall, heavy in size and broad-shouldered. The victim also described the suspect as having a round face, thick neck and thin eyebrows. He wore dark clothes, loose trousers, and heavy boots or shoes, with a soft voice and no accent.
After the incident, the police sent people door-to-door to track the suspect.
Parkside suspect drop net
Police efforts led to the arrest of Parkside`s suspect Wednesday afternoon. The 23-year-old man was charged with a serious crime of unlawful invasion and rape. Yesterday, the suspect attended in court, he did not apply for bail.
According to the new legislation, the suspect is temporarily detained and the hearing of the case will be suspended until the police submit preliminary evidence to the Attorney General`s Office, (Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions).
The case can be adjourned for up to 18 months, and the next trial may be February 18, 2019. But South Australia`s Chief Justice Mary-Louise Hribal said, "I`m only going to give six months."
In an effort to reduce the pressure on victims and ease community concerns, Judge Hribal said the suspect would be brought before the court as soon as possible.
Judge Hribal also praised the staff who solved the case, saying the Forensic Section and forensic staff were excellent, which allowed the suspect to be caught quickly.
Warning!
Obviously, the two cases were not committed by the same suspect, and were not related, except that the criminal methods were somewhat the same. Although Parkside`s suspect has been captured, O`HALLORAN HILL`s suspect is still at large.
The victims, as well as nearby residents, must be worried. Special Crime investigation Detective Denise Gray advises that strangers who knock at night, especially women, should not respond to strangers knocking at the door.
"the police are trying to track down the suspect!" Superintendent Gray said. "Please be careful of your safety. Don`t walk around by yourself at night." The police stressed again.
Both could have been avoided, as long as they were not opened, or the victims of Parkside woke up their roommates immediately.
Finally, I would like to remind you again that you do not have to open the door at will, especially in the evening, when there is an emergency, you can call Crime Stoppers 1800 333,000 or report online at Crimestopperssa.com. Au.
