Three hunted in gang rape

Three men carried out a "sickening" gang rape on a young Korean woman who was celebrating the end of her time in Britain, police have revealed.

The victim, who is in her early twenties, was enjoying an early evening meal with seven other Korean friends when she was approached by three men at Yates Wine Lodge in Ealing.

The men "gave the impression of befriendingher" and after a meal with drinks, the group of Koreans split up, leaving the woman alone with her attackers.

She was taken to Walpole Park, opposite the wine bar, between 7 and 10.30 on Tuesday evening and gangraped.

Inspector Dan Meaney said: "This was a particularly sickening attack by three fit young men on a vulnerable young woman. She was celebrating the completion of her time in this country and became the victim of a serious sexual assault."

She was found "highly distressed" by a member of the public and is now recovering after being given specialised counselling.

The three men are described as black, aged between 18 and 24 and all with short afro hair.
