A 19-year-old woman has died after being gang-raped by at least 11 men and flung from the sixth-floor of a building.
Hamdi Mohamed Farah was lured to meet a male friend before she was set upon by the attackers.
The vile killing happened in Mogadishu, Somalia, on Friday last week, and 11 arrests have been made.
Police say they are still trying to identify other suspects.
Student Hamdi had been set to enroll in college and her death has sparked huge protests around the country.
In a statement, police said: "We have arrested 11 people over the recent rape case in Wabari neighborhood in Mogadishu and efforts to track and identify other suspects are ongoing."
According to local media, Hamdi left her home at midday after arranging to meet a friend.
Her family later received a heartbreaking phone call informing them that her body was in a morgue.
MP Mustaf Sheikh Ali Duhulow told reporters: "The rape and killing of Hamdi sent shockwaves across Somalia, and no stone will be left unturned to ensure justice is served."
And fellow MP Hassan Moalim added: "I want to tell the Somali people and my constituents that I will not rest until the late Hamdi gets the justice she deserves."
