Colombo: Three teenagers have been arrested recently on charges of sexual assault of minors in separate incidents, according to local media reports.

A 17-year-old in Kakkappalliya allegedly raped his 9-year-old sister when their parents were not at home, reported ‘Lanka Hot News’.

The Grade 4 student had returned from school and was in the care of her father as her mother, who had recently returned from abroad, had gone out for work.

When the father stepped out on some work, too, the elder brother allegedly raped her. The incident came to light when the girl informed her mother about her ordeal. The woman filed a police complaint and hospitalised her daughter for treatment.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, two teenagers aged 17 and 14 misled a 7-year-old boy and took him to a deserted place and sexually assaulted him before tying him up in a gunny bag, reported ‘Mawbima’.

The child’s mother filed a missing report with cops, claiming that her son who was playing outside has gone missing.

His body was found in an abandoned house about 500 meters away from his residence in Mahesland Estate, police said.

Reportedly, the two suspects misled the boy telling him they would go coconut-plucking.

The suspects led police to the crime site.

Both the cases are being investigated.
