He further asked if Maduba knew where the defendant’s wife kept the victim the day it happened and if it was possible an unknown person penetrated her vagina. The defence counsel also asked the investigator to describe where the defendant lived and if there was electricity on the day of the incident. In response, Maduba said the incident happened on April, 15, 2020 at Lugbe Zone 6, at night. “The defendant lives in a one-bedroom self contained apartment with his son whom he sleeps with in same room alongside his wife and daughter (the victim). “The defendant’s wife left her child with her cousin whom lives in the same village, while she went to work on the said date,” she said.
