Man to be tried for historical gang rape

A man accused of taking part in the gang-rape of a Queensland woman on her 21st birthday more than two decades ago will finally face justice.

Yusuf Mohamed Abdi, 44, appeared in a closed court session of the Brisbane Magistrate Court on Monday, where he was committed to stand trial for allegedly raping the woman in November 1995.

Two other men, who are also accused of raping the woman in West End, will face the same court on January 20.
