The Kwahu Nkwatia Divisional Police Command has begun a manhunt for three male students of Mpraeso Senior High School over their alleged involvement in a gang rape incident. According to reports, the crime occurred on Sunday, October 13, in the Kwahu South Municipality.

Now, police appeal to the general public to help them track down the remaining suspects to bring justice to the perpetrators.
