CAIRO: A girl was brutally raped in Al Marg area while visiting a friend who lives next door.
Donia asked her mother to go over to her schoolmate, who lived close by, to ask her if she’d like to play with her. Shortly after, the seven-year-old shuffled back home with torn clothes and injuries all over her body, reported Al-Masry Al-Youm.
When she knocked on her friend’s door, a man in his twenties, who investigations revealed was her friend’s brother, opened the door and told her his sister was in the bathroom.
He then lured her upstairs, where he tied her with ropes and kept slapping her whenever she screamed. Having gagged her, he stripped her of her clothes and molested her.
Before she left he asked her either to keep this incident a secret or risk having her tongue cut off.
In fear for her life, the girl chose to keep quiet. But when she reached her house, she fainted and was taken to Al Marg Hospital.
At Al Marg police station her parents were told that she was raped. When the victim was asked about the culprit, she refused to give any information.
When questioned, her family told police their daughter came back bleeding from her friend’s house, but her friend denied having seen her that day and so did her brother, the real culprit.
A few days later when the girl began to recover, she confessed to having been raped by her friend’s brother. He was detained in Al Marg prosecutor’s office.
