Police are holding a man suspected of physically and sexually harassing his two children.

The suspect, who is separated from his wife, has been accused of beating and sexually harassing his children three times.

“I tried to refer the case to the children’s officer but the man persuaded his children to forgive him and they returned home.

This is now the third time and I will not tolerate this habit,” said the area chief, Selina Lemakara.

According to residents, the man had threatened the children to silence them.
