Three men accused of gang rape in southern Finland

Xinhua, February 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

Three men were alleged to have gang raped a man and caused fatal injury to him in Espoo, southern Finland, reported local media on Tuesday.

The suspected crime took place in April last year. The victim was put in a car and driven to a remote area, where he was raped and hit by a metal pipe on the head.

The brutal violence lasted for five to six hours, according to the Finnish daily Iltalehti. The suspects also called the victim's mother and threatened more violence to her son if she did not transfer 2,000 euros (2,262.44 U.S. dollars) to their bank account.

The three suspects were charged in the Espoo District Court in January 2016. They were accused of aggravated rape, robbery, deprivation of liberty, extortion and assault. Endit
