Leicester football-players assaulted sexually 3 black women ?

BBC reported as it seems - not complete about this case. Foreign media reported more.
Therefore, 2 Questions about BBC-information.

BBC reported :
3 Leicester-City football players assaulted sexually (broke into their room and penetrated) 3 German women (holiday makers) in Spain - that seems the accusation at the moment.
This is not wrong, however - as it seems - there are points missing.

According to a foreign media - those 3 women have been 2 women from Kenya and 1 woman from Malawi that are existing in Cologne/Germany,(therefore, presumably black and maybe not German nationality).

Questions:
Why does the BBC not report these information ?
Is it necessary to double-check BBC information today ?

It doesn't matter whether the women have three legs and 6 eyes - if they have been assaulted then they deserve justice!
As for your point re: BBC not reporting they are black - WTF?!
I would imagine that by leaving OUT the womens race/nationality, it stops bigots from bringing such an irrelevent point to public debate.

peace.

Keith Vaz MP for Leicester is pulling out the stops to have these footballers, who are charged with gang rape, brought home on bail to "continue a normal life" - but no MP is fighting for the release of UK detainees rotting in Guantanamo Bay, charged with... NOTHING!

I agree with you totally. Nationality or color should be unimportant. These issues are yesterday's, out of the 19/20 Centuries and today we should not more emphasize such dated terms. We live ALL in one world and we should ALL work and stand together for a better world.
However, please notice, this issue of nationality (German women) was stressed in the BBC reports (not from me) multiple.

I found this information by chance when I visited Yahoo Germany (all sites in German) - sport - Fussball - Europa, at 5.3 and 6.3 there were 3 articles about this case.
