“The suspect was said to have, on the same date, around Noon, haven noticed the absence of the victim’s husband on the farm, entered into the house and thereafter forcefully had an undue carnal knowledge of her.

“Investigation, so far reveals that the suspect was wearing a black face mask and also carried a knife, which he used in threatening the victim to comply with his demands.
