FATHER CHARGED WITH ABUSE, INCEST

POLICE in Florida, west of Johannesburg, were searching on Monday for a 62-year-old man who allegedly sexually abused three of his five children over the course of 20 years. The man apparently fled a flat he had shared with two daughters after his elder daughter laid charges of sexual assault and incest against him. The suspect apparently fathered children with two of his daughters. According to the elder daughter he had started behaving irrationally when his wife died in 1974. Police said they believed the suspect was still in Gauteng.
