A man faces murder charges after he invited his 14 year-old daughters alleged rapist over for dinner. Police say they had a meal together before the father ambushed the 45 year-old man and tied him to a chair. He then burned the mans genitals with heated tongs before strangling the man to death, police say.
In his statement, the man told police that two months ago, while he was away at his shop in the area, a medicine supplier had come calling at his house. On finding the minor girl alone at home, he allegedly raped her. He threatened the girl with dire consequences if she spoke about the incident to anyone.
Furious over the rape of his 14-year-old daughter by a 45-year-old married man, the father called the man to his house on Friday night, treated him to dinner and then tortured him to death, police said. He then went to the police station, surrendered himself and gave police a detailed account on how he tortured and murdered the man. He told police he had been plotting it since he found out about the alleged rape.
“Based on his statement, we sent a team to the spot and recovered the body. It has been sent for a post-mortem examination and his family has been informed. A case of murder has been registered and the 36-year-old man was arrested,” an officer said.
