The suspect told police during questioning that his daughter went missing from her house for two weeks, according to a second source. It was not clear why the teenager left home or where she stayed during that period. Police found the girl almost two weeks ago and handed her over to her parents after undergoing a virginity examination by government physicians, the source said. The examination showed the victim was not involved in any sexual activity, the source added. Posted by: Fred 2007-01-25 |
