BELGIAN TOURISTS RAPED IN E CAPE

EASTERN Cape police have arrested three men in connection with the rape of two Belgian tourists near Storms River on Tuesday morning. The two women were apparently hitchiking on the N2 near Port Elizabeth when they were offered a lift by three men who raped them. The women walked to a garage in Kareedouw, where they reported the incident to police. The three suspected rapists were arrested not far from the town and they are expected to appear in the Kareedouw Regional Court soon.
