| Suspected Rapist's Ears and Nose Severed in Baghlan |
| 2014-04-30 |
| [Tolo News] A man named Sayed Ahmad had his ears and nose cut off by relatives in northern Baghlan province after he reportedly raped his young female cousin. Ahmad's aunt said three months ago he raped her daughter. She claimed that she and her husband were the ones who severed his ears and face as punishment. They have both been taken into custody by provincial police. "Sayed Ahmad is my nephew, and we cut his ears and nose off because he raped my daughter and we did it to teach him a lesson," the aunt, who asked to remain nameless, said. "Late at night I cut off of Ahmad's ears...the cat ate them, but his nose is still with me at home," her husband, who also asked to remain nameless, said. Their daughter, only eleven year's old, confirmed her parents' accusations against her cousin. "About three months ago my cousin took me to his house by force and raped me," she said. "My nephew himself said he gave anesthetic to my daughter in food and after that passed his time with her," the mother said. Officials from Baghlan provincial hospital have said medical assessments of the young rape victim concluded that she had indeed been raped. "After doctors investigated it became clear that about three months ago the girl was raped," Khalil Narmgo said. Nevertheless, Sayed Ahmad, who is now receiving medical treatment himself, has maintained his innocence. "When my aunt and her husband took me to the bathroom I saw a knife with them and I thought they must be kidding with me," he told TOLOnews on Tuesday. "I kissed my aunt's hands and I asked them what I did, but they did not answer me, and cut off both of my ears and nose." Baghlan police officials said the entire family has been taken into custody for questioning. "Right now the girl, her mother and father are in custody and the investigation is starting with them," police spokesman Ahmad Jaweed Basharat said. |
