A 17-year-old Extension 9 girl who was found wrapped in a carpet with a number of stab wounds to her upper body is still in hospital two weeks after her brutal attack. The young woman's mother described the shocking incident to Grocott's Mail yesterday. 

A 17-year-old Extension 9 girl who was found wrapped in a carpet with a number of stab wounds to her upper body is still in hospital two weeks after her brutal attack. The young woman's mother described the shocking incident to Grocott's Mail yesterday. 

She said her daughter was slowly recovering from the attack.

"It's encouraging because the first time she gave her statement to the police she sounded like she was confused, but now she explains what happened to her very well," she said.

The heartbroken mother said her daughter had identified some of her three attackers.

Police spokesman Lieutenant Luvuyo Mjekula confirmed that the police were investigating a rape case reported on 22 March.

"The police are investigating a rape case, but I cannot comment further on the circumstances of the case because it is such a sensitive case," he said.

The girl's mother said her daughter told her she had spent time at a friend's house in Extension 9 when she decided to leave at about 11.30pm to go to the house of her boyfriend, who also lives in the area.

According to the girl's mother, she came across three men, one of whom knew her.

As they passed, he told her he wanted her until she had a child with another man.

"She says they then turned back and attacked her," the mother said.

The young girl was stabbed twice in the back of her neck and is currently unable to use her right arm and leg, her mother said.

She said her daughter was found wrapped in a carpet in a house in Extension 9 the following day.

"A child came to my house to tell me that my daughter was lying there and that she had been stabbed," she said.

People living in the house had heard her moaning and had gone to investigate.

The mother said she had found one of her daughter's shoes at the place where she said the attack had started.

The girl was taken to Settlers' Hospital and then transferred to Livingstone Hospital in Port Elizabeth.

According to her mother she did not stay long before being transferred back to Settlers'.

Mjekula said the police had not arrested anyone in connection with the incident.
