The victim, Sunday Telegraph gathered went out to play with other children in their neighbourhood but returned home crying and complaining of pain in her private part. On close observation, the mother discovered protrusion and bleeding in the minor’s genital.
The victim revealed to her mother that Papa Rukewe, a former Councillor in the area, dragged her to his backyard and put one of his hands inside her private part, while using the other hand to cover her mouth to prevent her from shouting. She added that the suspect later had carnal knowledge of her.
The suspect, however, said he was wrongly accused
