Court hears DNA evidence in gang rape case

A jury has heard that DNA evidence led to the arrest of two Wexford men accused of forcing their way into the home of a Waterford mother and taking turns to rape her as she was restrained by a rope around her neck.

A 25-year-old man has pleaded not (NOT) guilty at the Central Criminal Court to two counts of rape and one of anal rape of the woman at her Waterford home on August 31, 2006. His 22-year-old co-accused denies raping her on the same occasion.
