“The stepfather is now detained in a police lockup awaiting court appearance,.
“I reiterate my advice again to women or mothers who are remarrying or are
remarried: we have received many reports in relation to crimes committed by
stepfathers.
“Most of these offences are criminal, such as rape, assault and murder.
Acting Supt Rubiang said a man was also arrested for sexually assaulting his
two step daughters on several occasions early this year.
“We also arrested a solider recently who assaulted his step daughter in Lae and
now, we have arrested a man for the baby’s murder.

married a second time.
“These are reported cases that the police have. Some cases have gone
unreported.”
