A father who raped his own daughter before she killed herself has been jailed for nine years thanks to evidence the brave teenager gave before her death. Describing her at that time, her mother Liz Craig told the court: 'It was not the daughter I knew. The mum said her daughter went on to blurt out that Elder 'raped' her. Jurors had been told at the start of the trial that the girl took her own life in late December 2016. Weeks after the attack, Elder told a visitor to his home that he felt 'guilty' about having sex with the teenager.
