Police at Lethem are hunting for a 25-year-old man who brutally raped his five-year-old stepdaughter causing her to be hospitalised.
The man disappeared after the child’s mother, his reputed wife, left their home to report the matter to the police.
Kaieteur News understands that the child was bleeding profusely from her vagina, forcing medical personnel at the Lethem Hospital to admit her immediately.
The child’s mother had left her at home with her stepfather and eight-month-old sister on Friday night to work the eleven-to-seven shift, at her place of employment.
It is alleged that her reputed husband left the home sometime later on Friday night and imbibed in alcohol. He returned home and was later overheard by a relative in an adjoining room asking, “It hurting? It hurting?”
Later he asked a young relative in the house to fetch some water to bathe the child.
Even then no one suspected what he had done.
Early yesterday morning, he went to his reputed wife’s workplace to collect her but he told her nothing of what had transpired, although he had left her five-year-old daughter bleeding at home.
Kaieteur News understands that when the child’s mother arrived at home she found her sitting on a bucket in the yard and she was not her usual self.
But her mother did not make anything of the strange behaviour until she ventured into the bedroom.
There she saw her daughter’s bloodstained underwear in a clothes basket.
When she inquired from the child what had happened, the child did not respond.
The woman then confronted her reputed husband and he reportedly confessed, saying he was drunk and was sorry.
The woman immediately left the home and informed the police but when she returned the man had vanished.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
