Child rape

ENB alleged rape suspect handed over

The suspect had been in hiding since 2009 following the alleged rape of a six-year-old elementary school girl.

The incident was alleged to have occurred in 2009 when the girl was on her way home after school  when she was  assaulted by a man. She was six years old then.

However, after reports from the medical examiners came in,  it is alleged that she had already contracted the HIV/AIDS virus which she died  from in November last year, at the age of 13.

But the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed in a decision released Wednesday evening.
