A WOMAN listened in on the phone horror-struck as her best friend was raped in a car parked in Worcester, a jury was told.

The 30-year-old married victim went to a city nightclub alone after a row with her husband over her smoking habit.

But at SJ’s in The Trinity she met Udi Yamini, who was filmed on CCTV helping her along streets to his car because she was “very drunk” from a combination of alcohol and medication for bipolar disorder, said Jonas Hankin, prosecuting.

She had earlier phoned her friend, who lives in the same Worcester street, who agreed to put her up for the night.

In the early hours of Saturday, May 3, the woman contacted her friend by mobile.

Wed only six months, she seemed “scared and lost”, said Mr Hankin.

The call ended but the phone line then remained open “for extraordinary evidence” to emerge, Worcester Crown Court was told.

Her friend heard a man’s voice saying: “You disrespect me.” The woman replies and the man says: “You don’t talk to me like that.”

The friend then hears sobbing, grunting and it’s clear the woman is in pain and distress, said Mr Hankin. She tells the man: “No, I don’t want that.”

The friend later called the police, who tried to contact the victim on her mobile.

The victim was found crying and disorientated by police officers at 5am. Her knickers were torn and her trousers and shoes were dumped in the road.

She had bruises and scratches and five lacerations to her private parts.

Yamini, aged 29, who was formerly of Worcester but is now of no fixed address, denies rape.

The victim had gone out with her family to celebrate her birthday on the night she was attacked, said Mr Hankin.

After a meal in St John’s, she arrived at a pub in the city centre with her husband but they quarrelled.

Throughout the evening she drank wine. Next day, an analysis showed a blood-alcohol level three times the limit for driving.

Mr Hankin said she was “borderline senseless”, did not remember being raped and made no complaint to police. But CCTV film from SJ’s shows her falling on a landing. Outside she is held up by Yamini “as she bends back like a crab”.

A doorman from Bushwackers club was so concerned when he saw the couple, he asked her if she was OK to go with the man.

The pair got into Yamini’s Volvo but at 3.30am the victim phoned her friend as she was being driven along Foregate Street, the jury was told.

Mr Hankin said: “This was a woman hearing her best friend being raped.”

Yamini admits having sex with the woman but claimed it was consensual.

Giving evidence, the woman said her last recollection of the night was as she danced at SJ’s. She woke up at her mother’s home wearing clothes given to her by the police.

She said: “I was confused. I didn’t understand why I was at my mum’s. I just don’t know what happened.”

The trial continues.
