The probe began when the woman complained of stomach discomfort to her grandmother, who took her to the hospital. The father was arrested after DNA tests matched him out of 17 suspects. Police spoke to her father, who dismissed questions about sexual abuse and refused to explain how his daughter had become pregnant. DNA and blood samples were collected from 17 suspects, including the father, and matched against the fetus's genetic data. The forensic report, received on January 27, confirmed the father's DNA matched the fetus's DNA, establishing his paternity.
