For the associated assault with a first-year student, six Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) understudies have been arrested.
On Wednesday, August 3, the six were charged under the watchful eye of Asokore Mampong District Court.
They were undeniably positioned under police capture. The understudies are assumed honest until and except if demonstrated blameworthy by a court of able purview, as per their lawyer Richard Adu Darko.
“These are students of KNUST who have been accused of rape,” he told TV3‘s Ibrahim Abubakar after hearing.
“Looking at the fact which have been presented to us, honestly we don’t see rape but that’s what they have been accused of and once someone is accused, the law says the person is innocent until proven guilty or the person pleads otherwise.
“So, now until they plead that they are guilty or a court of competent jurisdiction finds them guilty, they are innocent. At this material moment this is a court of first instance and they have been brought here for purposes of remanding them into lawful custody.”
