SIBU: It looks like a jail term of about nine years for raping his daughter in 2008 did nothing to make a 53-year-old man repent.
The unemployed man, who was released from prison in August last year, was arrested again today for allegedly committing a similar offence.
This time around, the suspect had conspired with his 25-year-old son. The victim was the former's granddaughter and the latter's niece, who is seven years old.
The victim's predicament came to light when she related her woes to her mother who has been living separately from her daughter following her divorce from her husband seven years ago.
State Criminal Investigation Department chief Datuk Dev Kumar said the housewife was informed by her daughter that she had been repeated raped by the suspects since last year.
"At that time, the victim, who is a Year One pupil, was staying in the grandfather's house while her mother was staying in Mukah.
"The victim's mother visits her daughter from time to time.
"It was when the 27-year-old housewife took her daughter to Mukah during the school holidays that she was informed of the victim's ordeal," said Dev in a statement today.
Acting on a report lodged by the victim's mother, police arrested the girl's uncle from his workplace at a timber factory here about 1pm today.
An hour later, police arrested the victim's grandfather at his longhouse here.
Both suspects are expected to be produced at the magistrate's court here to be remanded.
