*Tonota teenager gang raped on New Year’s Eve

Police in Tonota are on the trail of two men suspected to have gang raped a woman on New Year’s Eve.

According to Tonota Police Station Commander Superintendent Oteng Ngada, the 19-year-old from Manyanda ward was on her way to collect her house keys from a cousin at Manyanda Shopping complex when the two men pounced on her.

“Before reaching the complex, the two men grabbed her and dragged her to a yard in Tonota West where they took turns in raping her,” Ngada told The Voice.

The Station Commander however revealed to this publication that it is only a matter of time before the two are apprehended as they’ve been positively identified by the victim.

Sending out a warning to fun lovers, and those working night-shifts, Ngada pleaded with them not to walk alone at night, and avoid entertaining strangers.

Meanwhile, still in Manyanda ward, a man aged 36 committed suicide by hanging himself on Thursday.

He is said to have used a wire that he tied to the rafters, moments after having a heated argument with his girlfriend.
