(05/15/2012, Haaretz)--Four Eritrean asylum seekers were arrested in Tel Aviv in connection with the rape of a 19-year-old woman early on Tuesday. A police patrol sighted a suspicious gathering near the old central bus
station in the Neveh Sha'anan neighborhood of Tel Aviv.
As they
approached they saw several men surrounding a woman who was crying for
help, and arrested four suspects. The young woman was taken to the
hospital, and later told the investigators that as she was heading home
she was attacked by the group of Eritrean refugees.
She said she was robbed, and then raped by at least one of them. The four suspects were brought to the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court to extend their remand.
The police told the court that evidence collected at the scene of the crime suggests that the woman was, indeed, raped, and that investigators are trying to locate several more suspects. The money and belongings stolen from the woman were not found at the scene of the crime. Read more from Haaretz »
