Nothing to link Banbury gang-rape to migrant accommodation, police say

Thames Valley police say any speculation is unfounded and unhelpful as they investigate weekend attack

There is no information to link the rape of a woman by a group of men in a Banbury churchyard to migrant accommodation, police have said as they attempt to quell online speculation.

The woman, who is in her 30s, was raped by a group of men in the grounds of St Mary's church and the surrounding area of Banbury town centre overnight on Saturday, Thames Valley police said.
