A 26 year old woman alone and drunk at 3 am in the morning......common sense needed young lady I,m afraid.....

 

hopefully they will catch the scum that took advantage

should be fairly easy as he must be a local moto taxi driver, still we already know the outcome its getting monotonous

Why did she sit in the middle of the road? Ok, she's been robbed but it's not worth getting run over and killed for.

It's more of a running track. Private circular road with almost no motor traffic,

She could incur a hefty fine for sitting like that...

How do you know she's Muslim for a start, and secondly surely you don't believe all Muslims don't drink.

Just an ignorant post.  Some have to try to turn everything in racial slurs.
