Updated: 6:18am – A 14-year-old boy who was allegedly raped by four of his uncles took the witness stand before High Court Judge, Justice Salesi Temo yesterday.
The alleged incidents occurred in Tailevu between November 2015 to March last year.
The boy was 13 at the time of the alleged incidents.
The four men have been charged with one count each of rape and all of them have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The boy told the court that the first accused raped him in November 2015 and later told him not to tell anyone.
When the prosecution asked him why he had not told anyone, the boy replied that his father was short-tempered and he would have killed the accused.
The 14-year-old boy told the court that he had gone to his grandmother’s house in January last year when another uncle had entered the room and locked the door.
He said the uncle had kissed him forcefully.
The 14-year-old boy said he had pushed the accused away and ran out of the room to wash his mouth.
He said when he was coming back, the second accused had met him in a passage in the house and showed him his private parts and asked him to have sex with him.
He said he had refused to do this.
The trial continues on Monday.
