The duo, aged 18 and 20, had been drinking in a bar where they met an asylum seeker who they described as "charming".

He convinced them to head to another pub for a drink in the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna.

But the 16-year-old from Libya took the girls to an apartment block and began taking them into a cellar.

The women realised there was no bar inside and tried to leave but things to a violent turn.
