Carabinieri paramilitary police
on Thursday took into custody a man after he was extradited from
his native Romania to face rape charges in Milan.
Omer Taner, 21, is accused in the June 8 battery, rape and
robbery of a 23-year-old Polish student who was in Milan on an
Erasmus scholarship.
His Romanian accomplice, 20-year-old Suliman Ohran, was
arrested in Milan on June 28.
The two culprits, both homeless with criminal records for
robbery, allegedly attacked the victim while she was on her way
home from a restaurant where she had dined with friends, beat
her almost unconscious and dragged behind a hedge in a public
garden where they allegedly raped and robbed her of her purse
and her cell phone.
The suspects were identified thanks to CC TV and DNA
evidence, police said.
