Kit set to tackle date rape drugs

VICTIM support groups yesterday welcomed a new test to tell if a drink has been spiked.

The pocket-sized product, called the Drink Detective, is designed to spot the three most common types of drugs used by those committing date rape.

The launch of the £3.95 (€6) kit was described by the Roofie Foundation, which runs a help-line for victims of drug rape, as a major step forward.
