The Guardia Civil are seeking to identify two other men who were involved in the alleged gang rape of an 18-year-old British woman in Magalluf. She has told investigators that there were eight.
Six were arrested last Monday. Five are French, named as Khalil A., 18; Anthony A. and Anthony G., both 20; Thomas E., 23, and Romain C., 26. The sixth man is Swiss - Lucas H., 20.
The woman and the six men were all staying at the same hotel. She was sharing a room with a friend. It has been established that she met the six at a club and returned to the hotel with them, but that they forced their way into her room.
Twenty videos of the incident were recorded. On one phone, there were 13 recordings.
The investigating judge in Palma indicates that voices of the men can be heard in the videos. They are laughing, while there is not a sound from the woman. The judge refers to "truly humiliating practices without any hint that the victim could have given her consent." The possibility that there was consent is "absurd".
The six were ordered to prison on Tuesday.

Vile, criminal, feral and now apparently thick as well. It appears that the alleged rapists stole the woman's mobile phone which the police then rang and one of the men actually answered ("Hello, Pierre here. How can I help?"). They convinced him and two accomplices to meet up and were promptly arrested ("You just raped a woman with others and stole her mobile and we'd like to meet you for a beer. Okay with you?"). Totally amazing. But thank heaven for their crass stupidity else they might all have booked on the next flight back to France.
Pre-meditated gang rape, laughing at the distraught victim, video footage of the offences. A watertight case. So let's see how Mallorca's judicial system handles this. Here's a chance to show the world that such despicable crimes on Mallorcan soil will be severely punished.
Castration and 60 years in prison seems reasonable.
