Protect integrity of safehouses: Manning

His call comes in the wake of a disturbing incident where an accused attacker attempted to breach the security of a safe house.

While Commissioner Manning refrained from revealing specific details to safeguard the victim's identity, he disclosed that the case involved a woman seeking refuge in a safe house after accusing her husband of rape and kidnapping.
