Rape victim fought back during ordeal

"I've been attacked, I've been raped, I've been raped. He's coming after me and he's going to kill me."

BP workers Peter Teale, 32, and Helen Jerry, 33, told the Sunday Star-Times how the 37-year-old administration manager was so terrorised by her four-and-a-half-hour ordeal on Tuesday night that she was incoherent when she tried to phone her parents. Jerry said she put a jacket around the shaking woman and hugged her. "I got down on my knees and hugged and reassured her that no one was getting into the shop.
