The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has tracked down two teenage suspects accused of raping a 17-year-old girl in Mutare, an incident captured on video and widely shared on social media.
The boys, both from Masasi High School in Marange, are alleged to have sexually assaulted the victim last week. The video recording of the act has triggered national outrage and renewed calls for stronger child protection measures.
ZRP confirmed that investigations are ongoing and the suspects are assisting with inquiries.
The viral footage has drawn sharp condemnation from citizens and child rights groups who say the case highlights the urgent need to address abuse in schools and regulate harmful digital content.
Authorities say updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
