KOTA KINABALU: A farmer has been arrested for allegedly raping his niece since she was 13, resulting in her now being pregnant at the age of 15. The 57-year-old man, who took care of the girl after her parents divorced 11 years ago, was nabbed after the victim lodged a report in Papar some 40km from here. “A team was sent to raid the suspect’s house following the report, and the suspect was arrested at about 5.50pm the same day,” he said. The victim, said to be 10 weeks’ pregnant, is currently under doctor’s observation at the Papar district hospital. Following the raid on the suspect’s house, police also found a homemade gun, locally known as ‘bakakuk’.
