Brutal rape reported
The police say an intellectually-handicapped woman has been brutally raped by three men near Otahuhu town centre. The 20-year-old was attacked while walking home through Sturges Park on Wednesday evening. The woman was beaten about the head with a beer bottle, punched repeatedly in the face, and struck on the back with sticks. The police, who described the rape as a savage attack, have appealed for public help in tracing three young Polynesian men.
