Beaten woman gives police detailed statement

Robeson Benn Jr who has been accused of raping and violently beating his 27 year old ex- girlfriend at her apartment in the wee hours of Sunday morning, has now claimed that he was invited into the woman’s home and that the intercourse was consensual.
The police have received a detailed statement from the woman who stated that she was violently beaten and raped by the young man.
The woman gave her statement to the police yesterday in the presence of attorney Nigel Hughes. She was also examined by a doctor who has since forwarded his report to the police. Kaieteur News was told that the young man has also given a statement to the police in which he claims that he was invited into the home by the young woman.
It is unclear what he has said in regard to the injuries the woman sustained. When Kaieteur News visited the woman on Sunday, her face was swollen, her eyes were bloodshot and she was crying out for pain in her head.
Police Commissioner Leroy Brumell announced on Sunday night that he has launched an investigation into the alleged assault of the 27-year-old woman by Benn. The commissioner said that any report of this nature was a serious one and would not be taken lightly by the police.
The alleged victim said that Benn who was brandishing a gun, repeatedly punched her in the face and stomach after forcing his way into her home at around 04:00 hrs on Sunday. The man, according to the woman, sexually assaulted her.
