KUCHING: The mother of a rape victim was shocked when the suspect’s mother lodged a police report against her for not allowing her son to marry the victim.
The 44-year-old mother claimed her 11-year-old daughter was raped by the woman’s 21-year-old son on February 12.
It was reported that when the girl woke up the next morning she found herself in the man’s house with the man sleeping beside her.
She was brought to Sarawak General Hospital for medical check-up and was confirmed to have been raped.
Police arrested the suspect in the evening of the same day when a police report against him was lodged.
After that, the suspect’s mother tried to get the victim’s mother to agree to a marriage between her son and the victim.
She went to the girl’s house on February 16 and 19 with the hope that the mother would agree.
“The suspect’s mother was just trying to get her son out of trouble. What type of mother would I be if I destroy my daughter’s future by allowing her to marry someone who raped her,” said the victim’s mother.
“At her age, she does not even have a clue about marriage. It’s not that I insist that justice must prevail.
“My daughter got raped and I have the right to determine what is best for her. I need to protect her.”
The suspect is currently under remand waiting to be charged in court.
