Police exhaust rape inquiry
PA Tauranga The Tauranga police say inquiries into a complaint of multiple rape on Saturday have been exhausted. “There are not expected to be further developments," said the head of the Tauranga C. 1.8., Detective Senior-Sergeant Brian McWilliam, on Tuesday afternoon. Inquiries, based on information supplied to the police, had been exhausted, he said. Detectives on Tuesday interviewed a Tauranga woman who said she was abducted at knifepoint on Saturday and raped by five youths in a Paengaroa farmhouse. The woman said she escaped after the five fell asleep at night. She said she hitchhiked back to Tauranga where she visited a friend. The friend had complained to the police. A man in a Land-Rover was said to have given a lift to the woman, and put her off on the Whakatane highway. She was said to have got another lift to Te Puke and from there a woman driver is reported to have given her a lift to Tauranga. The police asked through the news media for the drivers who helped the woman to come forward but no-one had done so.
