Two students have been placed in police custody. Benedict Appiah and Bilal Mamid were brought before the Agona Swedru District Court on Wednesday.
They are facing initial charges of conspiracy to commit assault. The charges stem from an alleged attack on another student from Obrachire Senior High School.
Presiding Judge H/W Victor Kusi ordered the remand. The students will remain in custody while police continue their investigation.
The incident is reported to have occurred in Agona Swedru. Further details about the circumstances of the assault were presented in court.
This case highlights ongoing issues with student violence in schools. The court is expected to hear more about the charges at the next hearing.
The case has been adjourned to March 11. This date will allow the prosecution to complete necessary investigations.
