Three men have been found guilty of raping a woman on Brighton beach in a "cynical, predatory and callous attack".

Iranian national Abdulla Ahmadi, 26, and Egyptian national Ibrahim Alshafe, 25, had denied repeatedly raping the woman in the early hours of 4 October.

Karin Al-Danasurt, 20 and also from Egypt, had denied filming her ordeal. He was also found guilty of rape as a secondary party.

The three men - who are asylum seekers - were convicted at Hove Crown Court on Thursday.

The men were living at a Home Office hotel near Horsham at the time of the offence.

Prosecutors have claimed that Al-Danasurt was convicted of murder in Egypt before he crossed the Channel into the UK on a small boat, although his defence barrister has disputed this.

He had also been given a caution in the UK for criminal damage in April last year, prosecutors said.
