Dad arrested for raping his 5 daughter's

A man has been arrested on suspicion of r3ping his five daughters for more than a decade following the death of his wife.

The unnamed 61-year-old has been remanded in jail in Argentina pending an ongoing judicial probe.

The arrest comes just a month after an Argentinian bricklayer was held after being accused of fathering four children with his daughter during a 20-year-long r.a.p.e ordeal.

The latest man to be arrested was detained in the Atlantic beach resort of Quequen, which belongs to Buenos Aires province and is just under a six-hour drive south of the Argentinian capital.

Police were called in by one of his daughters, according to Argentinian reports.

Her age and the age of the other four have not been made public to protect their identities.

Detectives seized a shotgun, an air rifle, two machetes, a knife and a video camera during a raid on the house on the outskirts of Quequen where they were living.

Prosecutors told local media: "He allegedly r.a.p.e.d his daughters over a period of more than eight years following the death of his wife from a terminal illness."

A police source said: "After the wife died, terror invaded the lives of the five young girls who were isolated and forced to endure s3xual abuse including r.a.p.e and threatened so they wouldn’t go to the authorities to say what was happening."

The suspect is currently being held on remand at Batan Prison in the Atlantic city resort of Mar del Plata.
