Woman raped and man critical after Lurgan flat assaults

A 26-year-old woman has been raped and has suffered serious injuries in an attack lasting over 12 hours in Lurgan.

Police have said the attack happened on Wednesday in a flat at Dingwell Park.

A 23-year-old man is in a critical condition in hospital after also being assaulted. Both victims are believed to be from Lithuania.

Police believe a number of men were involved in the attack which started in the early hours and ended at about tea-time.

Sinn Fein's Johnny McGibbon said the incidents had "unnerved the community".

"There is a real sense of shock and anger at what has happened. This is a good community and people here just want whoever is responsible for this to be caught."
