Kidnap/rapes lead to demand
11/9/08
Two young girls abducted and raped in a school in Western Highlands are recovering in their home province while their relatives are claiming K100,000 and 20 pigs from the accused. The girls, whose names have been withheld, were attending a secondary school when they were abducted and raped by more than 10 men last month. The girls, originally from Kainantu, were living with relatives in the Western Highlands and were attending school in that province. The crime has angered relatives and community leaders in Kainantu who called for peace and put the compensation demand to the Western Highlands Provincial Government yesterday.
