Another high-profile gang rape involving foreigners in the same week, both in the same German state.
Seven suspects were allegedly involved in gang-raping an 18-year-old woman in the city of Herford in the German state of North Rheine-Westphalia, according to a public prosecutor in Bielefeld. The woman is said to have been drugged with knock-out drops and raped multiple times in a parking lot
There are two Iraqi nationals involved, one German-Syrian, and four others who have German citizenship. The German citizens may have a migration background but Germany does not release such data. One of the suspects is said to be a girl as well. The seven suspects range between 18 and 21 years old.
The two Iraqis are considered the main suspects in the attacks and are currently in custody, according to German newspaper NW. The incident occurred on Aug. 24 inside the parking lot of a fast food restaurant, with the suspects allegedly raping the knocked-out girl inside a parked vehicle.
