Suspects Involved In Gang Rape Apprehended By Police

What is the world coming to?

Late Sunday evening, a video went viral that showed a young girl being held down and raped. In the video, it showed a group of boys taking turns to forcibly have sex with the girl.

The Ashanti Regional Police Command has stated that they have the perpetrators in custody.

Three suspects were arrested for being part of the Banatama gang rapists.

According to the Ashanti Regional Police Command, two of the suspects are in their first year of senior high whilst the other is in his final year of junior high.

The three were picked up for being part of the gang rape video which went viral on social media Monday.

Therefore, police believe the perpetrators are seven in number. Also, they are on the hunt for the four accomplices in the video.

The identities of the arrested suspects are being kept under wraps for now.

The Statement

ASP Juliana Obeng, PRO of the regional police command, made these statements to the press:

“The command has arrested 3 suspects. The arrest of these suspects was made on Saturday, 16th December 2017 at their various homes at Bantama. The three suspects and their 4 accomplices who are currently at large are all students. Two of the 3 arrested are in SHS 1 and the other in JHS 3.”

Furthermore, the police have revealed that the victim of the crime is currently undergoing psychological and emotional help.

Moreover, the police revelation that the arrests were made on Saturday indicate they knew about the incident before the video went viral on social media.

It is sad that this heinous act was done by boys who are not old enough to even vote. However, they must be punished to the full extent of the law.
