Two Palermo men aged 44 and 41 were
arrested Monday on suspicion of raping a 30-year-old Canadian
tourist in her B&B in the Sicilian capital over the weekend,
local sources said.
The woman reportedly told police she had met the older man in
hospital where she had gone to see her boyfriend who had
suffered a minor injury.
He is a hospital porter. She got chatting and invited him to her
B&B where he was "very nice" but "after a certain point I can't
remember anything," she reportedly said.
The man was joined by the younger man and allegedly raped the
tourist together, she told police. Tests in hospital reportedly
confirmed she had been raped.
