Man jailed for raping half-sister in Zambales

SAN ANTONIO, ZAMBALES—A 33-year old man who has been hiding for eight years after allegedly raping his half-sister was arrested on Friday, police said.

The suspect was 26 years old at the time of the alleged assault in the Zambales town of Sta. Cruz and was finally caught in Barangay (village) Tabang at Plaridel town in Bulacan province.

His half-sister was 18 when she filed the rape case. In her complaint, the woman said she woke up to find the suspect naked and astride her while wielding a knife on the floor of their house in 2013.

In the last three days, three other fugitives charged with rape have been arrested in Zambales. JOANNA ROSE AGLIBOT
