A SCHOOLGIRL was raped by a gang who poured caustic soda over her body to destroy DNA evidence.
The 16-year-old was left fighting for life with terrible burns from the drain-clearing chemical.
She was under heavy sedation at a specialist burns unit last night as sickened police called the attack by five youths a new low.
The gang beat the teenager before taking turns to rape her in an empty house in Tottenham, North London.
One detective said: “After they had finished raping her, the gang poured caustic soda over the girl to try and get rid of DNA evidence. It was the most horrific thing imaginable and the girl sustained serious burns. This is about as low as it gets.”
A woman cop living next door was alerted by the victim’s cries — and the officer treated her until medical help arrived.
Another neighbour said: “I heard a woman screaming, ‘Help, I’ve been raped’ and saying she had been burned. She sounded in a lot of pain.”
One resident, who did not want to be named, said: “The gang get up to no good.
“They told me they took the girl and broke into the house and that one of them threw water over her — but I have heard it was acid.”
Doctors feared the girl would die but she pulled through and is now stable in a burns unit in Billericay, Essex. She is still not well enough to speak to officers.
A police source said: “She has appalling injuries from which she will never fully recover. We believe it will be another two weeks before we can interview her.”
A 17-year-old was arrested over last Wednesday’s attack.
But he was taken to hospital claiming to have swallowed a 10p coin.
Cops are waiting to talk to him.
SICK!
I am sure it will be just a matter of minutes before we hear the standard “what was she doing there” and “where was her mother”....
I imagine that a Liberal will now propose that police stop collecting DNA evidence -- since that police practice seems to lead thugs to engage in terrible practices.
Here is the last part of the Article. Here in the U.S. it is politically incorrect to mention the race of the gang. Glad the U.K. can still mention the facts. Our papers usually leave out the critical facts.
And we are socially and ethically about 20 years behind england..... Coming soon to a housing complex near you!!!
In this case, it's going to be interesting how the liberals will be against the death penalty here due to the seriousness of the crime.
Sounds like they have a witness and need to coerce them into spilling the beans. They have no snitching in England too, huh?
Not likely. There isn't a "smart growth" club big enough to make me move close to one.

Proof that racial profiling is appropriate and should always be considered as a means to find crooks especially these animals.
You’re right. I only glanced at the last sentence & thought it was only a number to call. Thanks for posting.
Racial profiling isn’t really the same as having a description of the suspects.
Reading between the lines, I’d imagine that the police have a fair idea of the identities of the offenders anyway.
As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see “the River Tiber foaming with much blood”.
That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic but which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect.
Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century. Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now.
Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know.
All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

Time to get a rope.
Death by slow torture is far too humane for these animals.
Now?
They should revive the punishment, for things like this.
“And we are socially and ethically about 20 years behind england”
You wish. If anything it has traditionally been the other way round, though the gap appears narrower these days. You had race riots before we did, political correctness before we did (oh how I remember the days when we dismissed it as an American phenomenon that we would never be foolish enough to take on), etc.
