 DYING GRANDMOTHER RAPED IN HOSPITAL TOILET SUN Fri Jun 14 2003 A grandmother receiving cancer treatment on a hospital ward was raped in a toilet cubicle, police disclosed today. The 71-year-old was pushed to the floor and attacked in a toilet at King's College Hospital in Denmark Hill, south London, said a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police. The victim has only months to live and kept her ordeal secret for three weeks before telling a hospital doctor, according to The Sun. She kept silent because she felt ashamed and did not want her family to know what had happened, the report said. The married grandmother, who lives in the south of England outside London, has returned home since the attack on April 30. Detective Inspector Martin Ward, of Streatham CID, said: "This was a most serious offence on a vulnerable pensioner and all our efforts are directed to catching this man before he strikes again." A Metropolitan Police spokesman added: "There have been no arrests at this stage but inquiries are continuing. "We are not releasing a description of the suspect at this stage as it may prejudice potential witness statements." A spokesman for King's College Hospital said the attack happened on a locked ward, as all their wards are secured by keys or have an entry code door system. The hospital also has CCTV cameras covering extensive areas. She added: "The hospital is deeply saddened and we have extended our sympathies to the patient and her family. "We are working closely with the police investigation." END |
