A soldier arrived at the hospital in serious condition after being attacked, abducted, and tortured. The young man had gone out to meet a woman he knew on Tinder, but on the spot he realized that he had made a big mistake.
Cobhan Mclelland, 18, currently hospitalized in serious condition after the attack, had arranged a meeting with a woman at a property in Edinburgh in the early hours of the morning. When he reached the address, he was attacked by a man who allegedly assaulted him and did not allow him to leave. He suffered burns, injuries, and "psychic traumas" that will completely change his life.
An appointment at the hospital
Dylan Rigby, 19, has been charged in connection with the alleged incident. He appeared in court today accused of kidnapping, assault, and attempted murder, reports the Daily Mail, and will appear in court again in the next eight days.
"Officers were called to an address in Kidlaw Close, Edinburgh, around 6:05 a.m. on Sunday, March 21, following complaints about the property. Specialist officers assisted, and the incident was completed safely around 08.05. An 18-year-old man was rushed to hospital after being assaulted and a second 19-year-old was arrested and charged in connection with the incident. He was scheduled to appear before the Sheriff Court in Edinburgh on Monday (March 22nd) and a report will be presented to the tax prosecutor, ”said a Scottish police spokesman.
Cobhan's family says they were informed Sunday morning that the soldier, who lives at Dreghorn Barracks in Colinton, was taken to an emergency unit in Edinburgh. The young man was found in shock, with "traumas that will change his life" after the ordeal and receives specialized medical care for both injuries and burns.
The teenager, who is said to be originally from Doncaster, joined the army at the age of 16, turning 18 in January. "He had a whole career before, now he is completely traumatized," said a family member.
A fundraising page was created to help the teenager get through the ordeal, with the family sharing images from the alleged attack: “Our son, grandson, our brother has the best soul, so we are shattered to see the pain he is in. . Cobhan will live with scars all his life, both mentally and physically. She will need counseling and a lot of therapy to help him. Although we are so lucky that he is still alive and here with us today, we are also very sad, knowing the long road he will have to take to recover. We aim to raise money to help with any therapy Cobhan may need, as there is a very high chance that he will suffer from PTSD as a result of this horrific event. Please help and pass on, in any way you can, this story. Our family and Cobhan will be grateful to you forever. ”
A source close to the soldiers in the Dreghorn barracks said that the entire unit was informed of the terrible tragedy during a meeting at the army base on Monday. Thus, the incident triggered the emergency protocol.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense confirmed what happened: “We can confirm that there was an incident involving a military man and a civilian in the early hours of the morning. The soldier was taken to hospital and the police are investigating the incident. "
