A trial date was set yesterday for three 17-year-old boys accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in Walthamstow.

The schoolmates, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will go on trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court on November 11.

Two are from Walthamstow and one is from Tottenham.

The girl was attacked in a garage area at the end of Hibbert Road, Walthamstow, near the junction with Theydon Street, on July 27.
