..Faked injuries for La Manga woman? (17/03/04)


The Mirror continues to find out more background about the alleged victims in the La Manga case,now saying that one of the women is lying about her injuries.

Here's the story in full....

A NURSE who claims soccer rape accuser Beatrice Wanjiro seduced her husband said yesterday: "She is a proven liar."

Faith Grosch, 47, added: "I know this woman well, unfortunately, all too well."

Faith works with her husband, 54, in a private orthopaedic practice in Germany, where Kenyan Beatrice and her two friends now live.

She disputed Wanjiro's claim that a problem with her right knee was inflicted in the alleged attack by three Leicester City footballers. She said it was a long-standing complaint which she had treated.

Faith said Wanjiro had a two-week fling with husband Dr Burkhard Grosch, claiming to be a secretary at the Kenyan embassy in Bonn. In fact, she was working as a prostitute.

She gave Dr Grosch a sexually transmitted disease, said Faith.

On the allegations against Paul Dickov, Frank Sinclair and Keith Gillespie, Faith claimed: "These boys have been set up."

Wanjiro, 31, fellow Kenyan Martha Wilbert, 37, and Malawi-born Ruth Lourenco, 36, claim Dickov raped Lourenco as Gillespie pinned her to the wall of a hotel room at the La Manga resort in southern Spain.

Wanjiro alleges Sinclair tried to rape her and Wilbert claims she was punched in the face. The three players vehemently deny any wrongdoing.

Faith learned of the allegations from relatives in the UK. Yesterday she said of Wanjiro: "I have witnesses to her behaviour when we knew her, and I will quite happily speak to the police and give evidence against her. I'm not frightened of her.

"I feel very sad for these footballers. Wanjiro is attracted to men with money and these young guys must have been easy prey for her.

"She makes up stories and I can prove that. I believe she played upon the injury to her leg and made out that it was caused during whatever happened.

"She's very manipulative and clever - and I hear she and her friends have made a lot of money selling their story from this.

"They knew exactly what they doing. Why would an alleged rape victim sell her story? This woman tried to ruin my life, and she's now trying to do this to these footballers."

Faith, who works with her husband in Cologne, added: "I massaged her leg. She said she couldn't walk more than one kilometre because of the pain. She even wore a support.

"She is a compulsive liar who tried to steal my husband from me."

Wanjiro seduced Dr Grosch four years ago, said Faith, even though she knew the couple had two young children. Faith added: "She offered him sex, but wanted gifts including an expensive watch and holidays in return. They were planning to go to Kenya together. She also said my husband was going to build a home for her mother there."

After Wanjiro said she worked at the Kenyan embassy in Bonn, Faith sent the £300 bill for treatment there. It was returned addressee unknown and never paid.

Faith recalled: "I became suspicious of my husband because he kept coming home late.

"One night I went down to our clinic and found her sitting there. I asked her who she was and she boldly replied, 'He's my boyfriend, yeah, he's my boyfriend'. I couldn't believe it. I was stunned.

"I confronted my husband and he admitted he was sleeping with her. He said he liked her big bottom and she was good in bed.

"I was heartbroken and lost a lot of weight. We had two small children. I couldn't believe this woman was doing this to me.

"I found out she was a prostitute by tracking her down to the hotel she used.

"It was so obvious. My husband found out she was not a clean girl. It was horrible for us both.

"Thankfully, my husband left her and we got our lives back to normal. She disappeared, and we got on with our lives."

Dr Grosch was tested for Aids afterwards and cleared. Faith added: "Although she was a young girl at the time, only about 27, she was very experienced in what she was doing. My husband was weak and fell for her.

"We've now been running our orthopaedic practice for 18 years and have got over what happened."

Dr Grosch said: "I knew this woman and had a short affair with her. I learned what she did for a living and ended our relationship.

"She had treatment for her leg when we first met. It was a bit of fun at the time, which I deeply regretted.

"She was living in a hotel and I did become suspicious of her and what she did to make money."

Medical reports on the three women, seen by the Daily Mirror, said: "Beatrice Wanjiro complained of discomfort in the right shoulder and right knee. We observed multiple bruising. She was injected with Nolotil (a strong painkiller)."

Lourenco and Wilbert had heavy bruising, the reports said.

Dickov, 31, Sinclair, 32, and Gillespie, 29, were released last Friday on total bail of £196,000, after spending a week in Sangonera jail in Murcia.

All three claimed at a private hearing before a judge that the alleged attack on Monday, March 1 was nothing more than a heated row.

Transcripts of their evidence to a Spanish judge, seen by the Mirror, showed contradictions on several points. The trio are now back in training with Premiership Leicester while the investigation into the women's claims continues.
