He said, “The police were informed by
the mother of the victim, who noticed something strange about the girl
whenever she was taking her bath

“The suspect was arrested by the police
immediately. Initially, he denied the allegation, but later confessed
that he had been sleeping with the girl for at least a month. Medical
reports also confirmed that the girl has been defiled.”
