The atrocity took place on Sunday last week and no one has been arrested yet.

“Five men covered their faces with balaclava pounced on us as I was walking in the street along with my friend. They stabbed her and she fled the scene” victim told Herald newspaper.

A woman said the suspects allegedly dragged her to a dessicated water canal nearby where the atrocity took place.
