Two men were charged after a girl was allegedly kidnapped, raped and strangled in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, is accused of raping of the underage girl in Nuneaton on July 22.
A second man, Mohammad Kabir, also 23, has been charged with aiding and abetting rape, as well as strangulation and kidnap of the girl.
George Finch, the leader of Warwickshire county council and Reform party politician, claimed there has been a "cover up".
He alleged the two men were asylum seekers, and accused the police of hiding this from the public.
Now, Nigel Farage has weighed into the debate and blasted that the British people "have had enough" of "unidentified males" roaming the streets.
Speaking at a press conference today, the Reform leader said: 'None of these young and unidentified males that are coming into this country should be free to roam the streets.
"They should be detained ahead of them being deported.
'We will do that to protect the British people. We have had enough.'
Cllr Finch claimed that the chief executive of the council, Monica Fogarty, told him Kabir was an asylum seeker living in a house of multiple occupancy.
He said locals were able to "join the dots together" and came to the same assumption.
Cllr Finch, leader of Warwickshire County Council, claimed he wasn't immediately told about two migrants involved in the alleged rape of a girl in Nuneaton.
The Reform councillor claims he was only made aware of Mulakhil being charged two days later on July 29.

He claims he tried to contact the local police and crime commissioner, only to be told he was on holiday and didn't know much about the case.
The Council Leader claimed he was 'begging' and 'screaming' for all details relating to the accused's asylum status to be released.
He said: 'Our communities are at breaking point and that's why we need Reform to change things. We're the last line of defence against this block.
'The people of Nuneaton are hurt. They've had enough.'
The Warwickshire assault allegedly unfolded between 8.30pm and 9.45pm on Tuesday, July 22.
CCTV footage from a nearby doorbell camera appeared to show a man walking with the girl at around 8pm.
Cops detained the suspect on Saturday 26, and he was charged the following day.
He appeared at Coventry Magistrates' Court on Monday and was remanded in custody.
Both defendants will next appear at Warwick Crown Court on August 26.
While police are under no obligation to reveal a suspect's nationality, cops allegedly told local politicians and officials not to reveal it in this case over fears of 'inflaming community tensions', The Times reported.
The roads where suspects live are usually named, but in this case were kept secret.
However, Warwickshire Police has not denied reports that Mr Mulakhil and Mr Kabir are asylum seekers.
An official claimed police feared the area would become a hotbed for protests like those outside a migrant hotel in Epping, Essex, last month.
Last month, Epping made the headlines after becoming a hotspot for protests outside of asylum seeker hotels.
The protest, outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, began peacefully but escalated into what officers described as "scattered incidents of violence" targeting police and property.
Eight officers were injured and a number of police vehicles were damaged as missiles were thrown.

Thomas Partey: Ex-Arsenal player charged with rape to appear in court today

Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is due to appear in court today, charged with raping two women. The 32-year-old, who was charged four days after leaving the north London club when his contract expired back in June, faces five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. He is accused of two counts of rape against one woman and three counts against another. The sexual assault allegation relates to a third woman, the Crown Prosecution Service has said. The alleged offences took place between 2021 and 2022. The Metropolitan Police said it first received reports of an allegation of rape in February 2022. Partey's lawyer Jenny Wiltshire has previously said the Ghanaian "denies all the charges against him" - and looks forward to the chance to "finally clear his name". Partey joined Arsenal from Spanish side Atletico Madrid in 2020 and became a regular for manager Mikel Arteta, who last month said he was "100% sure" the club followed the correct protocols. An Arsenal spokesperson previously said: "The player's contract ended on 30 June. Due to ongoing legal proceedings, the club is unable to comment on the case." Partey made 35 appearances for the Gunners last season, scoring four goals.

Police warn of mass arrests if Palestine Action protest goes ahead

Police are warning of mass arrests if a protest in support of the banned group Palestine Action goes ahead on Saturday. Hundreds of people are expected to turn out for the demonstration, which is understood to be planned for London. However, the Metropolitan Police said "anyone showing support for the group can expect to be arrested." "We are aware that the organisers of Saturday's planned protest are encouraging hundreds of people to turn out with the intention of placing a strain on the police and the wider criminal justice system," said a spokesperson. The organisers, a pressure group called Defend Our Juries, denied their protest will try to overwhelm the police and justice system. "If we are allowed to protest peacefully and freely, then that is no bother to anyone," said the group in a statement. 1:29 Palestine Action was banned under terrorism laws after two aircraft were damaged at RAF Brize Norton on 20 June. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the vandalism of the planes was "disgraceful" and accused the group of a "long history of unacceptable criminal damage". The ban means membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. More than 200 people supporting the group were arrested at Defend Our Juries protests across the UK last month, many of whom held placards with the message: "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action." Downing Street has urged people not to attend this weekend's protest. It comes after around 40 people gathered outside Labour HQ on Monday to protest the party's stance on Gaza. They were watched by a small group of police officers as they chanted phrases including: "Shame on Keir Starmer, shame on the Labour Party, shame on David Lammy." Separately, the Board of Deputies of British Jews has also confirmed it will protest this weekend, with community organisations marching through central London to Downing Street on Sunday. They are calling for the government not to recognise the state of Palestine without all hostages taken by Hamas being released. Last week, Sir Keir Starmer said he planned to recognise Palestine by the UN General Assembly meeting in September, unless Israel met certain conditions including agreeing a ceasefire and improving the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
