Woman Hiker in Hong Kong Gets Robbed & Raped

THURSDAY, 26 JULY 2007

Hong Kong - A manhunt was under way in Hong Kong, Thursday, after a woman hiker was robbed and raped by a suspected illegal immigrant from mainland China. The woman was hiking alone on a remote trail in the city's rural Tsuen Wan district Wednesday when she was attacked by the man who raped her then robbed her of cash and her mobile phone.

A police spokesman said tactical unit police with sniffer dogs would sweep the area where the attack took place, which is popular with weekend hikers but deserted during the week.

The victim said her attacker spoke with a mainland Chinese accent and police are working on the theory that he was an illegal immigrant who had sneaked into Hong Kong.
