After Being Raped By His Biological Father, An 8-year-old Girl Sleeps Delirious And Has Convulsions Until She Finally Dies

SEMARANG – A father in Genuk Subdistrict, Semarang City, Central Java was arrested for raping his daughter to death.

The perpetrator with the initials WD (41) is a resident of Bangetayu Wetan Village, Genuk District, Semarang City. Meanwhile, the victim was a girl with the initials NPK (8), WD's biological child.

According to information from the Central Java Police, the perpetrator is divorced from the victim's mother. However, the victim's ex-wife allowed her daughter to communicate with her father.

WD was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Team of the Semarang Police at his boarding house on Kyai Sakir Street, Tlogosari Wetan, Pedurungan District, Semarang City.

Deputy Chief of Police of Semarang, AKBP IGA Dwi Perbawa Nugraha, said the perpetrator raped his daughter three times since February 2022.

"When it first happened about 3 weeks ago, the victim was in the perpetrator's room with her brother. When it was night, the perpetrator brought home the perpetrator's child with the initials DI, while NPK went back to the boarding house and slept with her father (the perpetrator). That's when the perpetrator committed an obscene act", explained Dwi Perbawa, in a written statement, Monday, March 21.

At that time, said Dwi, the victim screamed in pain. The perpetrator then calmed the child to sleep.

"The perpetrator repeated his actions about a week ago. At that time the perpetrator picked up the victim at his ex-wife's house to sleep in the perpetrator's boarding house. While at the perpetrator's boarding house, the perpetrator repeated his actions", explained Dwi Perbawa.

The last depraved act of the perpetrator occurred on Friday, March 18, at around 21.00 WIB, the perpetrator raped his daughter who was already asleep.

"Initially the perpetrator was watching TV and at that time there was a desire to have sex with his daughter. The perpetrator carried out sexual abuse through the victim's rectum and genitals. Then the victim fell asleep. On that day, around 23.00 WIB, the victim was delirious and had seizures", explained Dwi.

Due to seizures, continued Dwi Perbawa, neighbors took the victim to the clinic for examination. But the clinic refused. Finally, the perpetrator took the victim back to his ex-wife's house.

"The ex-wife ordered the perpetrator to take the victim to the hospital. NPK was finally taken to a hospital and entered the ER. But at that moment the victim died", explained Dwi Perbawa.

In addition to arresting the suspect, said Dwi, the police also secured some evidence including the victim's clothes, the perpetrator's clothes, bed linen from the boarding room, and others.
