Domestic. Early in Sweden's immigration history, Rissne in Sundbyberg received attention for one of the country's first gang rapes. Now the suburb breaks new ground again when, for the first time, two women are prosecuted for just one gang rape.

Originally seven people were arrested for the bloody gang rape in an apartment in Rissne in May this year, where a woman was beaten and penetrated with an unknown object until injuries occurred in the abdomen.
Eventually, all but two sisters, 19 and 25 years old, who were born in Sweden to Iraqi parents, were released.
According to the plaintiff, she was abused by the sisters in an apartment in Sundbyberg where a party was going on. Among other things, the sisters stomped on her head, tore off her bikini bottoms and penetrated her abdomen with a blunt object.
The panties were later found by the police, thrown out of a window, and at Södersjukhuset injuries were discovered on the whole body in the form of bruises and lacerations. According to the doctor, an injury in the abdomen had a character that «suggests that it was caused by obliquely incident/scraping blunt force, such as tearing with an edged/uneven surface/object, nails or the like».
A group of young men in their 20s to 30s, some of whom are Swedes, must have been in the apartment when the incident took place. However, no one intervened.
In a call to SOS Alarm made by a neighbor, the plaintiff can be heard saying in the background: «They put things in my pussy. Don't you understand? In front of guys. Oh, the guys did that too» .
All of the young men in the apartment were initially arrested and three of them were later arrested. In questioning, the woman clarified that only the two sisters participated in the rape and that the young men in the apartment did not. The arrest was then lifted.
Now the sisters, now 20 and 26 years old, are charged with aggravated rape and assault. The 26-year-old is also charged with unlawful threats, as she threatened to kill the woman during the rape.
The 26-year-old has previously been convicted of money laundering and theft, while the 20-year-old has previously been unpunished.
