Police in Kenya have arrested seven suspects in connection with a gang rape of a woman in western Bomet county.
The incident, captured in a viral video, happened in Chebanyi village last December, the police said.
The clip trending as "sigor boys" on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows several men in a dimly lit room taking turns to sexually assault a woman, who is heard screaming.
The video has shocked the country, with many calling for justice for the unidentified woman.
Police said in a statement on Thursday that they arrested the suspects following an operation in the area.
Two of the suspects were positively identified and police say they are pursuing the other individuals.
Police said that they would bring the suspects to court and apply to hold them for longer to complete the investigation.
