A British tourist is said to have been raped by five attackers this weekend in the popular holiday resort of Ayia Napa in Cyprus.

The 20-year-old victim told Cypriot authorities on Sunday that she was attacked by five men at her hotel in the city of Famagusta.

Cypriot police have since arrested five Israeli men – three aged 19 and two aged 20 – following the description of the attack by the alleged victim and suspects.

All five suspects are due to appear in court in Famagusta later today.
