A spokesperson for a private security company Prem Balram explains, “A 37-year-old mother informed us that her husband returned home intoxicated and during the course of the night she had woken up to find him raping the five-year-old child. When she attempted to call law enforcement, he fled on foot. Reaction officers searched the areas that he had frequented in the area and he was not located. The child was visibly traumatised.
