One victim, now 17, claimed she was assaulted since she was six years old, with the most recent incident occurring last month. The other girl, aged 16, was also allegedly sexually assaulted in 2022. The case was uncovered after the victims confided in a teacher, prompting school authorities and police to act. Initial investigations suggested the assaults took place while the mother was asleep at home. The suspect's wife, 43, was unaware of the abuse as the suspect allegedly threatened the victims to stay silent. Their father is said to have a volatile temper, threatened to beat the victims, which made them afraid to disobey him. In an unrelated case, a 15-year-old secondary school boy was also remanded for seven days on suspicion of sodomising a boy who was his classmate six times since last year. The suspect was detained after the victims' parents lodged a report claiming he had threatened their child.
