In an interview with Adom News, the victim, who according to her mother could hardly speak after the incident, stated that she was threatened by the suspect after the incident and that was why she could not tell anyone immediately.

 “This is about the third time he is doing this to me but because he told me he will kill me if I tell anyone, I was afraid to tell my mother,” she stated.
