Police have charged Ashley Augustine with two counts of rape and one count each of burglary and robbery with violence.
Thirty-three year old Augustine of Hope in St. Andrew is alleged to have committed the offences in early April.
Last week, a petition was being circulated on the internet, alleging that Augustine was responsible for the rape of a 77-year old woman on the sister island of Carriacou, and asking the authorities to intervene and have him arrested.
Following that petition, police launched a man-hunt for him. He was caught within one day of the manhunt being launched.
On Thursday, a release from the Police indicated that Augustine is still in custody and is assisting them with their investigations in a series of other ‘serious offences’.©
