Police are yet to arrest three suspects in connection to an incident where two Form Four students from St Teresia Secondary school in Kelelwet Nakuru were gang raped on January 13.
The two girls aged 17, were defiled by seven men who emerged from a bush at Sewage estate in Nakuru West sub-county.
They were on their way back to school after taking a carrier bag to the home of one of them.
According to the mother of one, her daughter was thrown into a raw sewage reservoir before one of the attackers pulled her out and continued to rape her. She was later abandoned in a thicket a few metres away.
The other student managed to flee after three of the attackers raped her in turns.
Four suspects have since been arrested and charged.
And although police officers at Rhonda police post have launched a man hunt for the suspects who are still at large, concern has been raised over the slow pace at which the police are acting.
The students have been receiving treatment at Nairobi Women hospital Nakuru branch.
The girls have also been transfered from the school due to stigma.
Nakuru OCPD Samuel Obara, in a telephone interview, said all the suspects will be apprehended and charged.
