TV appeal over 'drug rape'

The suspects plied the women with drinks

A reconstruction of a night out which ended with two women allegedly being raped will be featured on BBC One's Crimewatch programme on Thursday.

The women believe they were drugged and raped during a night out in Islington, north London on 18 May.

They met at 2030 BST to go for a few drinks before heading to the Matt and Matt bar on Upper Street at 2200 BST.

The two suspects approached the women as soon as they entered the bar and pursued them for the rest of the evening, buying them drinks for which they had not asked.

At one point, they brought over a tray of tequilas and even picked out the glasses from which the women should drink.

One of the men, who called himself Hamed, repeatedly said, "I know I am going to wake up with you," to one of the women.

The women tried to leave the men in the bar but were presented with another drink for which they had not asked.

No memory

Neither woman remembers anything after drinking it.

They woke up the next morning in a strange flat with the men, who took them to an old red Ford Fiesta and dropped them off on Hampstead High Street after a 10 minute drive.

Both women believe they were raped.

Police hope the reconstruction will jog the memory of any witnesses who were at the Matt and Matt bar that night.

They are particularly keen to trace a group of men who were on a stag night.

Crimewatch is on BBC One at 2100 BST on Thursday.
