Teenage boys ‘tortured, raped and buried alive in cemetery’
Two teenage boys were allegedly tortured, raped and buried alive in a Swedish cemetery, before police arrived and saved them.
The pair were allegedly preyed upon by two males, aged 21 and 18, at around 11pm on Saturday in Solna, just outside of the capital Stockholm.
The exact ages of the boys are unknown, but they are reportedly under the Swedish age of consent, meaning they were younger than 15.
They reportedly refused to buy drugs from the two suspects and were taken to a cemetery against their will.
Swedish police say the two young victims were subjected to a physical assault that resembled torture.
The boys were stabbed in their legs among other injuries and were allegedly raped, the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reports.
They were then reportedly forced to take off their clothes and get into a pit before the suspects proceeded to bury them alive.
Fortunately, a passerby raised the alarm on Sunday morning, some ten hours after their alleged abduction.
Officers found the boys naked but alive in the cemetery. The extent of their injuries are not yet known but police confirmed they were ‘responsive.’
Officers arrested the two suspects soon after finding the boys.
Aftonbladet reports that one of the suspects was wearing items of the buried victim at the time of his arrest.
Both men have been charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, rape and aggravated robbery.
Both men have denied the charges against them.
