47-year-old father jailed 20 years for incest

The Lawra Circuit Court has sentenced a 47-year-old man to 20 years imprisonment with hard labour after finding him guilty of defiling his 17-year-old biological daughter."The court sentenced the convict to twenty (20) years imprisonment for incest and ten (10) years imprisonment for threat of death, both sentences to run concurrently in hard labour", the statement said.

Investigations, the police said, established that the convict "sexually abused his 17-year-old biological daughter, a JHS student, over an extended period amid threats of death if she ever disclosed his escapades to anyone".
