Germany: Eight arrested for rape in Freiburg
The men are suspected of drugging and assaulting an 18-year-old woman in the southwestern German city. A spate of high-profile violent incidents has shocked the bucolic university city in recent years.
Eight men were arrested in the idyllic German city of Freiburg on Friday in connection with the rape of an 18-year-old woman. Police said that seven of the suspects were Syrian men aged 19 to 29, and one native German aged 25.
The victim reportedly met at least one of the men at a nightclub in Freiburg's industrial area on the night of October 14. The man is suspected of having drugged the woman's drink. All eight men are accused of having taken turns assaulting her near the club.
Police said they were able to determine some of the suspects based on DNA evidence.
