Gardai at the Bridewell Garda station, Dublin, are investigating two rapes, thought to be by the same man, which took place in the Benburb Street area earlier this week. Two women, thought to be prostitutes, were assaulted between 11.45 p.m. and 12.20 a.m. on the nights of November 8th and 9th at Ellis Court and Blackhall Court. Both women, one in her late 20s and the other in her early 30s, suffered facial injuries.
