A 49-year-old man who sodomised an 8-year-old girl has been arrested, Maun police have said.
The suspect from Nxaraga village in the North West District was detained at Maun Police Station this week while waiting to appear before court on rape charges.
He allegedly raped the girl last weekend at Dikhuting cattle post.
According to Maun Police Station Commander Superintendent Peter Gochela, the victim’s father is employed by the accused’s sister to look after her livestock and normally takes her little girl with him to the cattle post for a weekend.
Gochela said it is at the cattle post that the suspect sneaked into the victim’s blankets and raped her.
“Information that we have is that the suspect got angry with a neighbour who rushed to help after hearing the girl screaming. He was found on top of her and went back to his bed while hurling insults at the neighbour,” said the police boss.
Gochela said after the neighbour left, the suspect went back and raped the young girl but this time on her behind.
Her father is said to have arrived the following day only to find the bad news to which he received the bad news about what happened to her daughter.
He took the girl with him back to Nxaraga where he reported to his wife and later the police.
The accused was arrested at the cattle and is currently held in custody for further investigations.
“He will be arraigned in court soon,” said the Station Commander. – TheVoice
