British woman on a Spanish holiday was gassed and raped while her husband lay unconscious next to her, it was claimed today.
The mother-of-two, 56, was assaulted at a hotel in Benalmadena, Spain, after a mystery gas was pumped into their roof-top bedroom, her husband said.
The pair from Greater Manchester, were near the end of their Costa del Sol holiday when the sex attacker struck at the Hotel Siroco.
The British woman claimed she was raped at the Siroco hotel in Benalmadena after she was gassed in her room as her husband lay next to her
'I think he somehow gassed us and then came in. My wife woke me screaming my name at around 4am and I realised someone was in the room with her,' the 55-year-old man told the Sun.
The attacker, who apparently fled the room naked, was still there when the couple woke up. He escaped with a large amount of money as well, the husband said.The terrified victim of the attack was treated by doctors in Spain on Monday morning but now faces an HIV test in Britain.
A Malaga province police spokesman confirmed they were investigating the alleged attack and said no-one had been arrested in connection with the inquiry.
A Foreign Office spokesman said it had not received a report of the attack. Its advice on personal safety in Spain said sex attacks were infrequent but did happen to British tourists.Police are investigating the alleged attack in the popular Costa del Sol resort
It went on: 'Be alert to the possible use of "date rape" and other drugs including "GHB" and liquid ecstasy.
'Buy your own drinks and keep sight of them at all times to make sure they are not spiked; female travellers should be particularly watchful.'
