“Victor was my son, an 11-year-old boy. I had been receiving bad reports about him. The height of it was that he started sleeping with his sister, who is eight-years-old.
I had been receiving several reports about the ugly incident. Around 4.00 pm, I came back from work and met Victor sleeping with his sister in my bedroom. The stepmother was not at home."

Solomon who had gone out the day the boy lost consciousness, was summoned to the hospital by phone and when he got to the hospital, he was told his son had died from internal bleeding as a result of the severe beating he had given him the next day.
He was detained by the doctor who called in the police from the Gwarinpa police station, and the suspect was arrested.
“I wept when the doctor told me that my son had died. I didn’t have the intention to kill my son. I was trying to correct him because of the immoral act he committed. How can I beat my son to death? I couldn’t believe what I saw. I only acted in anger; I never wanted to kill my son,” the distraught father said.
