Serengeti. A father has fled his home after allegedly sexually molesting his two-year old daughter.
John Nashon, 25, is alleged to have committed the brutality last Monday at Sedeko Street in Stand Ward. The incident was reported at Mugumu Police Station.
Speaking to The Citizen on Sunday, the mother said her daughter was admitted to the Nyerere District Designated Hospital in Serengeti, Mugumu, while in a critical condition. Looking disgusted, the mother claimed that her husband committed the crime as she went to the market.
“I left my daughter with her father who is a garage mechanic. On returning, my husband told me to go inside to see the child and treat her using cold water, but I didn’t know what had happened to her then,” she recounted.
She said she found her daughter on the bed bleeding profusely with her private parts severely damaged.
She alleged that in trying to hide the incident, the husband told her the child fell from the coach and a sharp instrument injured her in her private parts.
She claimed that her husband threatened to beat her when she suggested that she sends their child to hospital.
“I decided to send her to the hospital after reporting the matter to the police station,” she explained.
The Nyerere DDH medical officer, Dr Kelvin Mwasha, admitted that the hospital was treating the child and she was still in a critical condition, explaining: “She was bleeding profusely when she was brought here.”
Commander, Mr Absalom Mwakyoma, said the region continues to lead in violence. He added that this year there were 201 cases compared to 2011 when 148 were reported.
