The man who cannot be named for legal reasons, failed to appear in court on Friday as he is now admitted to Richard Morris Hospital after he was allegedly severely assaulted by cops.
The rape suspect, who is divorced from his daughter’s mother and is alleged to have been on ARV treatment for some time, is said to have raped the girl several times from January 2012 to early this month.
Speaking during a make-shift court session at the hospital on Friday, the man told West Commonage magistrate Sheunesu Matova that police officers assaulted him until he lost consciousness.
He did not give a reason for the alleged beating.
“I was assaulted by police and they damaged my right eye. The blows were directed to my right eye and though I can’t remember the name of the police officer who assaulted me till I lost consciousness, these police officers who are present know them,” he said.
