Overview

• Prosecutors say the 29-year-old main defendant met the woman in a club, intoxicated her with alcohol and cannabis, took her to a nearby hotel and that all three defendants raped her.
• One co-defendant is alleged to have recorded the assault on a mobile phone.
• The men allegedly left her after she had vomited and was at risk of suffocation, which the prosecution characterizes as accepting a lethal outcome and therefore as attempted killing.
• Investigators report they identified the case through wiretapped calls in a separate drug investigation in which the suspects discussed the incident.
• The public is excluded for the entire proceedings, with five further hearing days scheduled through October 2.
