After he raped his teenage niece, she was so traumatised that she tried to kill herself by drinking bleach solution and soap powder.
Even after she fell ill and vomited, his main concern was to conceal his heinous acts by telling his wife not to take the niece to hospital in case it led to a police report.
So the wife took the girl to a private clinic and hid the fact that she had swallowed bleach from the doctor.
She later gave her $50 to keep her quiet.
On Monday (Oct 26), the 54-year-old uncle was jailed for 20 years for raping, molesting and sexually assaulting his young niece.
The food stall operator, who cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the girl’s identity, had sexually abused her seven times over two years, starting in 2010 when she was just 12 years old.
