Police continue to quiz arrested England star Mason Greenwood, 20, over alleged rape and assault of girlfriend

-

 

England footballer, Mason Greenwood is still being questioned by police after being arrested over allegations of rape and assault.

 

The Manchester United forward, 20, remained in custody early today having been detained yesterday after disturbing pictures and audio went viral on social media alleging he attacked his 18-year-old girlfriend.

The disturbing images appeared to show the woman bloodied and bruised. In the voice recording, the footballer was heard forcing his girl to have sex with him.

 

Shortly after the messages emerged online, his club put out a statement saying it was aware of them and they were making inquiries 'to establish the full circumstances'.

 

It added: 'Manchester United does not condone violence of any kind.'

 

The woman was interviewed by plain clothes officers at her family home yesterday afternoon.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester police said they had launched an investigation after being made 'aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence'.

 

He added: 'Following inquiries we can confirm a man in his 20s has since been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. He remains in custody for questioning. Inquiries are ongoing.'

 

Forensic officers also arrived at Greenwood's £2million mansion in the upmarket village of Bowdon, Cheshire, yesterday evening.

Manchester United suspended the rising star, who earns a reported £75,000 a week, shortly before news of his arrest emerged.

 

In a second statement, the club hierarchy said the player would 'not return to training or play matches until further notice'.

 

The allegedly incriminating posts were online for just a few hours before being deleted.

 

The woman's father told the Daily Mail his daughter believed her Instagram account had been hacked.

 

Speaking from his £1million home in an upmarket Cheshire village, the company director, 61, described the allegations as 'dreadful'.

'I'm just coming to terms with it,' he said. 'As a father you don't want to know things like this are happening to your daughter. She is devastated. But she is safe. It is in the hands of the police now.'

 

Meanwhile, the woman's older sister told the Sun she was shocked by the news and described the audio clip shared online as 'disturbing'.

 

She added: 'She's a lovely young girl and no one deserves that. If there isn't a full investigation by the police then there is something wrong.

 

I put my trust in them to do the right thing [...] I just hope that my sister gets the justice that she deserves - that's all that matters.' 

 

Campaigners and women's charities also welcomed the investigation into the 'shocking' allegations.

 

Former chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal said the pictures, and particularly the voice note, were 'shocking in the extreme'. 'Manchester United must deal with it but it is also clearly a police matter,' he said.

  A police officer has gunned down a Lagos resident who prevented him from jumping the queue to buy fuel at a Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) filling station at Obalende in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.    Toheeb Eniafe was in the queue to get petrol on Wednesday evening, May 1, when two men, said to be police officers, attempted to drive into the station to buy petrol even though they were not in the queue to get the product.  This attempt by the police officers to jump the queue was met with stiff resistance from people in the queue who had been waiting for hours.   Eniafe was at the forefront of the resistance, telling the men to join the queue like everyone else.   This degenerated into a physical fight and one of the men shot Eniafe before fleeing the scene.  An angry mob was said to have chased and caught up with one of the officers but he later escaped after firing shots in the air.  On Thursday, May 2, the La...

Ugandan President Museveni claims IMF, World Bank and Western countries purposely keep African countries in perpetual poverty (video)

President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has claimed that the West and various international monetary lenders keep Africa in continuous poverty. Speaking at the World Bank’s International Development Association summit for African Heads of state, held in Nairobi, Kenya, Museveni took a bold swipe at world leaders saying that most of Africa’s problems predicted over 60 years ago were a result of philosophical, ideological, and strategic economic mistakes. He claimed that a fundamental African problem is that aid from the World Bank and other Western bodies was majorly for profiteering. “The crisis which is in Africa today is because of philosophical, ideological, and strategic economic mistakes which we have been talking about since the 1960s. It is not an accident when you see the crisis in many African countries, the collapse of States. We predicted this in the 1960s – philosophical, ideological, and strategic mistakes. I don’t have time to amplify each one but I was very happy to hear the...
