Two teenage brothers have
been arrested in Delta state for allegedly raping their six year-old sister who
died from complications from the sexual abuse.
The sad incident occurred at
Ogbe-Ijoh community, Warri South Local Government Area of the state. Sun News
reports that the brothers, 19-year-old Felix Inia and 16-year-old Stanley Inia
have been arrested by the Delta State Police Command, Asaba, for allegedly
defiling their six-year-old step sister, Precious Kankamor.
The suspects were said to
have had carnal knowledge of the minor by forcefully penetrating her, which led
to severe injuries in the victim’s private part.
Besides the injuries
sustained after the alleged sexual abuse, little Miss Precious later developed
protruding stomach, leading to medical complications that eventually cut short
the life of the victim. Investigation revealed that the suspects’ mother got
married to the father of the deceased after her first marriage ended with the
death of Mr. Inia. The now embattled mother moved into her new marriage with
her teenage sons, who unsuspecting, had eyes on little Miss Precious
immediately they stepped into their new home.
They allegedly carried out
their ignoble mission last month when they were left with the victim at home
while others had gone out for the day’s activities. According to a police
source, the younger Inia, Stanley, allegedly lured his elder brother, Felix,
into the act. “The younger brother said he sold the idea to his elder brother.
He (Stanley) assured his brother that there was nothing to be afraid of and
that he (Stanley) had been doing it with other children in the area,” the
source told Daily Sun.
The Public Relations Officer
of the command, ASP Famous Ajieh, confirmed the arrest of the suspects to Sun News,
adding that they would be charged to court as soon as investigation was
concluded.
