The Western Central Regional Police Command has arrested ten suspects captured in a disturbing viral video physically assaulting two young women at Wassa Dawurampong in the Western Region. The arrests were carried out by the IGP’s Special Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team, working in collaboration with the Western Central Police Command.
According to a police statement issued on Thursday, November 27, 2025, the suspects were seen in the video harassing and abusing the women over allegations that the victims had stolen money from a gold-buying shop.
Three of the suspects, Eric Donkor (alias Killer Block), 32, Yaw Gyimah, 29, and Edmond Nartey, 24, were identified as the individuals cutting through the victims’ scalps with a sharp razor.

Meanwhile, efforts are ongoing to locate and support the victims, including providing medical care and other needed assistance. The Police Administration assured the public that it is committed to ensuring justice for the victims and bringing all involved to book.
The Western Central Regional Police Command strongly cautioned the public against taking the law into their own hands, urging citizens to hand over suspected offenders to law enforcement for due process to take place.
