Damas, Yaounde:

School teacher rapes teenage girls

Parents and teachers of a nursery/primary school in Damas Yaounde are yet to come to terms with information that one of the teachers of the school was sexually abusing female pupils.

                Sone, as the teacher, in his 40s, is called, was almost lynched by nearby populations after news filtered to the public that he sexually abuses his female pupils and even rapes others.

                Police rescued the criminal from the hands of the raging mob this not before he had been beaten to near death.

                Sone was later taken to the Efoulan Gendarmerie for interrogation. He has admitted committing the crime but pleaded for forgiveness saying he does not know why he is only sexually attracted to teenage girls.

Doctor’s examinations also confirmed he actually penetrated some of the pupils.

                At the time of going to press, his HIV status was not confirmed.

Dschang Varsity student found dead in room

Tamungwa Lawrence, a 23-year old Geography student at the University of Dschang was on Wednesday last week found dead in his room.

                Reports from neighbours said the boy complained of cold, cough and fever in the morning hours of the fateful day; but he refused to go to the hospital, instead preferring to consult a Pentecostal pastor.

                The neighbours said they found him already dead in his room after his absence was noticed throughout the day.

                The boy’s corpse was later transferred to a nearby mortuary pending burial arrangements.
