Kumasi, Jan 18,– Five boys
alleged to have gang-raped a girl in Bantama, have been ordered to be held in
prison remand by the Kumasi-Based Gender Court.
Their pleas were not taken and
they would be making their next appearance on Wednesday, January 31.
The gang-rape led to public
outrage after a video footage of the act went viral on social media.
The accused had earlier been
discharged by the Asokwa District Court, which was handling the case, after the prosecution raised an
objection, arguing that one of them was above 17 years.
They were quickly re-arrested and
put before a Circuit Court.
Police Chief Inspector Mercy
Quaye told the court presided over by Madam Comfort Taseame that investigations
into case were yet to be completed.
