Parents of a 17-year-old boy have handed him over to police for raping and attempting to murder a woman.
The teenager was linked to the attack by ‘billion-to-one’ DNA matches after his parents contacted police following an appeal in the press.
He is now on trial for trying to kill a woman, leaving her with ‘truly dreadful’ head injuries after he raped her.
He admitted two counts of rape, causing grievous bodily harm and stealing his victim’s handbag but denies trying to murder her in Victoria Park, Leicester, on July 3, after he left a pub where he had been drinking.Leicester Crown Court heard he dragged her into undergrowth, where she was found by a passing cyclist almost an hour later.
