SARATOK: A remand order against a 48-year-old man who allegedly raped his daughter was extended for another week here yesterday.
Sarawak Criminal Investigation Department chief Datuk Dev Kumar said the man is being held further to facilitate investigations into the case.
"The investigation paper (IP) is almost ready and will be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor next week," he said.
The suspect, a farmer, allegedly raped his 15-year-old daughter for the past three years.
The victim had related her ordeal to a school’s counsellor and claimed she had been raped by her father seven times since she was 12.
The victim, who is the only child in the family, claimed she was first sexually assaulted by her father at a hut inside an oil palm plantation near Kabong in 2014.
Since then, the victim had alleged that the other incidents had taken place at the family’s house located at a village in Kabong, near here.
