Tokyo: Two charged with assaulting friend of deceased Wexford woman

Two men have been charged with indecently assaulting the friend of a young Irish woman whose body was found in Tokyo last week.

The body of 21-year-old Nicola Furlong from Curracloe in Co Wexford was found in a hotel in the Japanese capital on Thursday.

The DCU student had been out socialising at a concert with her friend, who is also Irish.

Police in Tokyo are investigating the possibility that the young womens' drinks were spiked.

The two men who are in custody are understood to be US citizens.
