Supt. Lekone explained that it was alleged, however, that the suspect and a 17-year-old victim, had a love affair that started on April 19.

In other issues, Supt Lekone said they recently charged and fined five West Hanahai residents for defying Section 21 of state of emergency regulations by producing traditional brews. They were each fined P500.

He added that, from April 21 to 23, they also charged 23 persons for roaming the street without permits and each was fined P200.

Furthermore, he reminded the public to continue to practice extreme social distancing even when shopping. ENDS
