CEBU CITY, Philippines — A 54-year-old man accused of raping his niece in 2008Barangay Tungasan, Olango Island in Lapu-Lapu City.
Police Lieutenant Zosimo Ravanes, team leader of the Anti-Kidnapping Group Visayas Field Unit, said the suspect denied the accusations and revealed that the reason of the complaint may have been because of a recent misunderstanding he had with the victim. But Ravanes said he also talked with the barangay councilor there and the latter told him that even before the victim filed a complaint, they already heard about the rape accusations. The councilor said this happened during the days when the victim and her younger brother stayed with their uncle.
“She stayed in [uncle’s house] since her father, at that time, was jailed. Her mother abandoned them when she was still three years old together with her younger brother,” Ravanes said in Cebuano language.
