KUALA LUMPUR: A 10-year-old girl has been living in fear since 2017 as she endured the countless times she was raped by her own father.
Her nightmare finally ended when she opened up to her 60-year-old grandmother, who later lodged a police report against her son on Christmas Day.
Ampang Jaya deputy police chief Superintendent Mohd Zaid Hassan said acting on the report, police had arrested the 37-year-old man on the same day.
“The victim told her grandmother at about 1am on Dec 25, saying that she was raped by her father at their home in Taman Changkat Permata.
“The rapes believed had taken place at night since 2017 when she started to live with her father. She did not tell anyone about the incident as she was afraid she would be reprimanded by her father,” he said in a statement today.
Zaid said the victim was previously being taken care of by her grandmother till 2017.
“The victim’s mother lives in Rawang and has remarried. She has a seven-year-old sister who is staying with her mother.
