Two quizzed in connection with teenager's rape

Two men were arrested today by police hunting the attackers who raped and beat a teenage girl in a Belfast park.

The girl, in her late teens, was set upon as she walked home in the pouring rain through Woodvale Park just after 5.30pm on Monday evening.

Police said at the time the girl had been raped by two attackers, kicked in the face and suffered cuts and bruises all over her body.

Her ordeal only ended when a passer-by disturbed the attackers and a man took the girl to a nearby house where the alarm was raised.

Chief Inspector Andrea McMullan said: “This was a brutal, horrendous, vicious and unprovoked attack”.
