«Breaking News» British woman, 48, is raped in Goa as she walked to her guesthouse

A British tourist has been raped in Goa - in the same town where an Irish backpacker was sexually assaulted and killed last year.

The 48-year-old woman was attacked while she was walking towards tourist hotspot Palolem beach in the town of Canacona, southwestern India, at around 3am today, police said.

She had left her guesthouse to catch a train from Canacona railway station to Thivim - but after it got delayed, she decided to make the one mile walk back to her accommodation alone.

On the way, and as she reached Palolem beach, the attacker forced her to a paddy field on the roadside and hit her in the eye before raping her and robbing her of three bags. The victim took shelter with a friend nearby before reporting the incident to the nearby police station.

The attack comes 19 months after 28-year-old Irish backpacker Danielle McLaughlin's mutilated body was found in the desolate area of Devbagh in the same town.

Mr Prashal Desai said: 'She had gone to catch a train from Canacona to Thivim station located in North Goa district.

'But, as the train got delayed, she decided to return to the place where she was staying near the Palolem beach.

'He first hit her in the eyes, due to which her vision blurred for a few minutes, and then raped her.

'A search was launched to arrest the culprit and some suspects from the area have been rounded up.

'We are waiting for the medical report.'

In March last year, 28-year-old Irish backpacker Danielle McLaughlin's mutilated body was found in the desolate area of Devbagh in Canacona.

She had been raped and brutally beaten with a rock and broken bottles before being dumped on the road during Holi, a prominent Hindu festival of colours.

Vikat Bhagat, a habitual offender who Danielle had befriended, was arrested in the case and charged with her rape and murder, as well as theft and destruction of evidence, after allegedly confessing to the crime.

The trial is ongoing and it is expected to be years before a final judgement is made.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
