| Rickshaws of the type used in Central London. The doctor alleges she was raped in a similar vehicle by rickshaw driver Murat Durmus |
The woman, in her 20s, was attacked after she was left alone with Turkish-born Murat Durmus, 23, during the early hours on February 5. She had kept her sexuality a secret but was forced to come out to her family because of her ordeal, the Old Bailey was told. The doctor and her gay friend had been drinking at bars in Soho and unsuccessfully tried to find a black cab home. They walked around the road closures near Tottenham Court Road and decided to catch a pedal rickshaw, which ply for trade in the West End, to their homes near Tower Bridge. Her friend got out of the rickshaw on the way to her house and the woman doesn't remember what happened next. The woman said: 'Things got a bit hazy. I honestly don't remember how it all started. 'My next memory is simply buzzing the buzzer and going into my flatmate's bedroom. I was hysterical and crying. Because of my orientation, I was outraged. I was angry.' A passer-by noticed Durmus arguing with the doctor, telling her to get back inside the rickshaw. Full Story>>
