A man has been taken in for questioning for his alleged involvement in the abduction and defilement of a 14-year-old girl who was reported missing earlier this month.
The 14-year-old girl is now safely back with her family.
Police say the suspect’s parents had taken both the man and the girl to the Vunidawa Police Station.
They are still investigating the matter.
Spokesperson Ana Naisoro says while the case is still under investigation police has asked all parents to be aware of where their children are and what they are doing if they are under the age of 18.
She says in any event where a complaint has been lodged by any one party, the matter will be considered a case of abduction.
