A
19-year-old boy, Felix Inia and his 16-year-old brother, Stanley are now
cooling their heels at the headquarters of the Delta State Police Command,
Asaba, for allegedly defiling their six-year-old stepsister, Precious Kankamor.
The incident, which eventually led to the death of the victim, occurred at
Ogbe-Ijoh community, Warri South Local Government Area of the state. The
suspects were said to have had carnal knowledge of the minor by forcefully
penetrating her, which led to severe injuries in the victim’s private part.
Besides
the injuries sustained after the alleged sexual abuse, little Miss Precious
later developed protruding stomach, leading to medical complications that
eventually cut short the life of the victim. Investigation revealed that the
suspects’ mother got married to the father of the deceased after her first
marriage ended with the death of Mr. Inia. The now embattled mother moved into
her new marriage with her teenage sons, who unsuspecting, had eyes on little
Miss Precious immediately they stepped into their new home.
They
allegedly carried out their ignoble mission last month when they were left with
the victim at home while others had gone out for the day’s activities.
According to a police source, the younger Inia, Stanley, allegedly lured his
elder brother, Felix, into the act. “The younger brother said he sold the idea
to his elder brother. He (Stanley) assured his brother that there was nothing
to be afraid of and that he (Stanley) had been doing it with other children in
the area,” the source told Daily Sun. Public Relations Officer of the command,
ASP Famous Ajieh, confirmed the arrest of the suspects, adding that they would
be charged to court as soon as investigation was concluded.
