Police investigating an alleged double rape have charged a Kent man.

Officers in Suffolk arrested and charged Erkan Bozyel, of Station Road, New Romney.

He appeared at Ipswich Magistrates' Court on Saturday morning charged with two counts of rape at an address in Great Cornard, near Sudbury, in Suffolk.

It was reported two women were assaulted and raped at the same address in the village.

Police were called last Sunday afternoon (August 7) after the attack reportedly took place in the early hours of that morning.

The first victim is said to have encountered the man at around 4.30am while she was walking back from Sudbury town centre before she was raped at a house in the village.

Further inquires by police found a second victim was allegedly raped at the same house earlier in the night.

Bozyel, 34, was arrested by police at Liverpool Street station in London at 10pm on Thursday and brought back to Suffolk for questioning.

Officers charged him before he appeared in court.

He was remanded in custody to appear at Ipswich Crown Court on September 6.
