A 78-year-old former police captain has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the rape of his then 10-year-old granddaughter nearly two decades ago.
Tyali said the victim reported the incident to her grandmother, who had been the wife of the rapist. She confronted him about the allegations, which the man denied.
He said the matter remained unreported to the police until November 2016, when the victim decided to report the case, leading to the arrest of the man. “He claimed that the child had fabricated evidence against him due to an ongoing family feud,” said Tyali.
