Detective
superintendent Tim Keelan of Merseyside Police said: 'The victim has

'This
was an appalling attack on a woman in her own home and we would urge
anyone who has information, which could help us bring those responsible
to justice, to come forward.
'It
is possible that some of those who were in the flat on the day may have
talked to people, including friends or family, about what happened and
if they have we would urge them to contact us.'
