A male nurse who allegedly raped a terminally ill cancer patient in a Bloemfontein hospital will appear in the city's magistrate court today.
The 33-year-old nurse was arrested after a 50-year-old cancer patient alleged that she had been raped last October during the nurses night shift.
The patient, who has since died, could not identify the female accomplice who allegedly helped the suspect.
The victims husband told police that a female nurse held her down while a male nurse raped her.
The man is out on bail.
