Stroke victim, 82, raped in bed
Staff at residential care homes for the elderly are being asked to be extra vigilant after a bed-ridden woman was raped in her room.
A member of staff, at the home in Nottinghamshire, disturbed a naked man attacking the woman in her room at about 0520 BST on Sunday.
The intruder, described as black, slim, aged 20-25 with dreadlocks, ran off.
Det Insp Sean Anderson said the attack against the 82-year-old stroke victim, “defies belief”.
Residential home owners and guests were being warned by the police to be extra vigilant, and to close doors and windows at night, until the man is caught.
