“The suspect had become very popular in the state and was known as “mai siket” (man in skirt).
Meanwhile, there have been conversations on appropriate punishment for rape offenders in the country.
The conversation was prompted as a result of a series of rape incidents two of which involved female students, who were raped and murdered.
Following the incident, the Senate has urged the law enforcement agencies to administer stiffer punishment to rape offenders.
