NMU rape suspect nabbed
Police in Port Elizabeth have arrested a suspect wanted for the rape of a student at the Nelson Mandela University.
He was also wanted for stabbing another student in a computer lab on Monday night.
Police spokesperson, Colonel Priscilla Naidu, says the 29-year-old man was arrested in Govan Mbeki Avenue on Wednesday afternoon - apparently while trying to sell a computer that he had stolen during the attack.
