Casablanca- Three young men were recently arrested in Al Haouz province, near Casablanca, for attempting to gang-rape two foreign women, according to daily Al Massae’s Thursday issue.
According to the same source, the three suspects ran across the two victims while they were enjoying the landscape in a field in Al Haouz. The suspects then forced the two women to go with them to an unpopulated area where they attempted to rape them.
The two victims then shouted for help, which drew the attention of some passersby who immediately called the local police, reports Al Massae.
The police subsequently arrested the three suspects, who were then accused of abducting the two tourists and attempting to rape them under coercion. After police interrogation, the three suspects admitted to the charges held against them.
According to daily Assabah, the three suspects regretted their criminal acts, which infuriated local residents.
The two victims were apparently tourists who had come to the Al Haouz region to relish the beautiful landscape for which the area is known.
The three suspects will now stand trial for abduction and attempted rape.
