Diyar Mohammed Abdulsalm, 28, and Dilgash Adil, 32, have both been jailed for 11 years after being found guilty of raping a young woman in Cheshire.
The incident took place in December last year. At 4.55am, police were called to concerns for an 18-year-old woman in Winsford. It was reported she had been on a night out in the town when she started speaking to Abdulsalm and Adil and had travelled to their home address with them.
Victim Found Near The Drumber
Contact was made with the woman, who was found near to The Drumber, Winsford. She then disclosed to officers that she had been raped. Abdulsalm and Adil were arrested and later charged.
Detective Chief Inspector Ian Murray said: "Abdulsalm and Adil targeted a young woman who could not consent due to intoxication. Officers quickly ensured the victim was safeguarded and arrested the pair in connection with the offences."
Sentencing at Chester Crown Court
Appearing before Chester Crown Court on Friday, July 24, for sentence, Abdulsalm was sentenced to 11 years after being found guilty of two counts of rape. Adil was also sentenced to 11 years after being found guilty of one count of rape. The pair, who are both Syrian nationals, must sign the sex offender register indefinitely.
Murray added: "Despite their denials, the jury found them guilty and they have now been jailed for their crimes. Although the victim will never be able to forget what happened, I hope these sentences provide her with some closure, knowing that these men are behind bars and justice has been served."
