Asian raped, robbed by fake cop

A man posing as a detective went into the apartment of a Filipina in Kuwait and forced her boyfriend out before raping her and stealing nearly KD1,100 (Dh13,500).

The woman told police she was in the bedroom while her friend was in the sitting area when the man knocked at the door.

After letting him in as a presumed security man, he ordered the Filipino out; he then locked the door and headed for the bedroom.

"The woman told police that he raped her before stealing nearly KD1,100 from the safe...she said that he later locked her up in the bathroom and fled," the Arabic language daily Alanba said, adding that police have mounted a manhunt to catch the rapist based on descriptions provided by his victim.
