The women were between the ages of 18 and 35, police said, adding that one of the victims was raped by 10 men and the other by eight men.
Police added that the women were also stripped and the accused robbed them of their personal belongings.
“It seems they are foreign nationals, basically they are leaders,” the police said, “referring to people who exploit mines in the country illegally.”
