The man who was “helping police with inquiries” over the rape of a woman in the churchyard at St Luke’s has been released on bail.

The 34-year-old man was arrested at 8.45 pm on Monday night over the attack, which occurred in the early hours of Monday morning.

He has been released on police bail until next Tuesday.

The incident happened in the area of Elizabeth Street near Georgetown between 2 and 3 am on Monday morning.
