Addressing the press on Monday , the police officer in charge of crimes at Gulu central police station, James Asubo said the woman was picked up by police from Kabedo-Opong on Saturday morning after the police was alerted about the incident.

Asubo said the woman is reported to have been from a drinking joint where she is said to have spent the day celebrating women’s day and was returning home in a drunken state when the unknown thugs attacked her.
