Unfortunate Duo

"A couple assaulted by a gang of 4,the guy suffered a severe injury to his foot and her girlfriend raped." I heard this shocking news from the radio while on the way out in the morning.According to the news,the couple was on the way back home at 10p.m. before being chased by an unknown car.The car,alleged to be deliberately hitting the couple's car several times from the back while chasing them,was believed to be intending to rob the couple by creating an accident.The driver,however sensed something wrong and tried to escaped by increasing the speed of his car.The 10km chase finally ended when the couple drove into an alley in a town(a place where they were not familiar with).The couple's car broke down while they tried to reverse their car.Knowing that they were in great danger,the girl called her boyfriend's brother,seeking for help.Her effort was to no avail.His lover's brother without an ado contacted the police station but he ended up being denied a helping hand.The officer who picked up the call refused to lend a helping hand and the reason given was that he was not in charge of the territory where the couple was at.Feeling helpless and anxious,the victim's brother decided to look for the couple himself.Unfortunately,it was too late as the gang of 4 eventually got them.Pointing a blade at each of the victim's neck,the 4 robbers snatched away cash,handphones and some valuables.They then continuosly punch and kicked the male victim,slashed his left leg before forcing them into their car and drove them to a forest.There,one of the robbers stayed in the car as the other 3 took turn to rape the female victim,as her badly-beaten boyfriend could only watched helplessly and painfully.The couple was left by the roadside as the robbers fleed with their car.With her boyfriend lying unconsciously on the ground,the mentally and physically-tortured woman could only wave and yell for help from by-passers.They were then sent to hospital by a family who went past the spot.

According to the press,the victim's brother blamed the cops for being not responsible.'Had the cop who received the call took action,this tragedy would not have happened',he said furiously and emotionally.

I wish the concerned department could repent on their mistakes so that such incident will not occur in the future.
