Two held over racially aggravated rape of British Sikh Woman in UK

Two people, a man and a woman, have been arrested on suspicion of the racially aggravated rape of a British Sikh woman in Oldbury, in the West Midlands region of England, last month.

West Midlands Police said on Friday that the arrests were made in connection with a second rape of a woman in her 30s at Halesowen in the same county on Thursday night, which is not being treated as



racially aggravated.

The pair were later additionally arrested in connection with the attack on the British Sikh woman in her 20s who reported being sexually assaulted at Tame Road in Oldbury, Sandwell, on September 9.

“A 49-year-old man and a 65-year-old woman from Sandwell were arrested this morning on suspicion of rape,” the police said in a statement on Friday.
