A British hiker walking in an Argentine beauty spot was raped at knife-point after being dragged into a secluded area near the city of Tilcara during an expedition in the province of Jujuy, it has been claimed
The 25-year-old woman says she was attacked during an excursion to a
canyon and waterfall dubbed the Garganta del Diablo (The Devil's Throat) near
the city of Tilcara in the northwestern province of Jujuy. She told police the
attack was 'very quick' and that the man 'knew exactly what he was doing' as he
later took steps 'to remove all trace of himself from her'. This included
stealing his victim's underwear, newspaper Clarín reports on Thursday's alleged
incident. Police sources said the woman, who is still in a state of 'severe
shock', wanted to leave the area as soon as possible and return back home to
England.
But she was convinced by a fellow traveller to report the alleged crime
and stay in Argentina to see if her attacker could be caught. Police arrested
three men on suspicion of the crime after a series of weekend dawn raids, and
officers are hoping the victim will recover sufficiently so she can formally
identify her alleged attacker in a line-up.
The hills at Humahuaca near the city of Tilcara, in Argentina where the alleged rape at knifepoint took place
She is reported to be from 'Weston', but it has not yet been confirmed
if this is from Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset or one of the several
villages across the country that bears the same name. The British Embassy in
Argentina is said to be monitoring the case, with a representative in contact
with prosecutor Miguel Angel Lemir. In the meantime safety has been stepped up
in the area. Lemir has deployed a team of 40 police officers to patrol the park
in a bid to encourage walkers to return.
