It looks like an ordinary suburban house. Then the police found a woman “naked and screaming in the street.” She is now breaking her silence, as police accuse a businessman of “keeping her prisoner for four days.”

A young woman who claims she was locked in a Canberra home for four days and raped has told police she only managed to escape because she fought her alleged captor and ran away.

The woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was found by a police patrol at 7pm on Monday after police allegedly saw her running, naked and screaming, from the suburban house on Fairweather Circuit in Lyneham. .

She told officers she had allegedly been held in the home for four days and had been repeatedly sexually assaulted.

Later that night, police arrested Sisituutuumata Fulivai, 44, and charged him with forcible confinement, sexual intercourse without consent and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Daily Mail Australia can now reveal that the woman allegedly at the center of the ordeal returned to the house with a friend on Wednesday to discover the police tape was down and it was no longer an active crime scene.

The woman claimed that “she had to leave.”

“I had to… then I ran,” he said.

Fulivai did not own the property, but appeared to have access to the house while his relative who normally lived there was away.

The case against Fulivai has not yet been heard in court.

The house was covered in debris Wednesday, with trash and bags of roast chicken from the day before next to the front door.

Neighbors described the area as “tight-knit” and “community-focused” and were horrified by the alleged assault.

Sharon, whose elderly mother lives next door to the alleged crime scene, said she had visited the street several times over the past week and heard nothing.

“I come here to take care of my mother and there was no sign that anything was happening next door,” she said.

“(The allegations) have shocked everyone because it’s normally a very nice community.”

Social media posts show Fulivai is a car and rugby enthusiast who used to run a custom printing company.

Records indicate the print shop closed in 2022.

Fulivai appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday, wearing a brown towel around his waist and gray sweatpants tucked into white socks, and no shoes.

Prosecutors said the charges were not related to domestic violence.

He did not apply for bail and will be remanded in custody until his matter returns to court in July.
