posted (August 4, 2015)
Last night we told you about the man who stabbed a 16 year old boy after catching him in bed with his 13 year old daughter. It is a very delicate situation - we can't disclose the identity of the father nor any family member or neighbors because it would reveal the identity of the minors. Today we spoke to Senior Supt. Edward Broaster and he told us the little information he could provide on this case.

Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster, Commander, Eastern Division Rural
"Yesterday we received a report of a stabbing incident where we visited the scene. A 16 year old was stabbed at Sandhill Village and he was taken to the KHMH where the doctor certified wounding. He got stabbed to his navel area. The individual that stabbed him is in custody and will be charged accordingly for the injuries that he inflicted on the minor."

Reporter
"The circumstance surrounding that incident, what led to that stabbing?"

Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster, Commander, Eastern Division Rural
"Well, the circumstance leading to that stabbing was the fact that he found him in his house doing something that he should not have been doing."

Reporter
"What would that be sir, stealing?"

Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster, Commander, Eastern Division Rural
"I will not comment any further on it."

Reporter
"Reports reaching to us is that he found his daughter sleeping with this 16 year old."

Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster, Commander, Eastern Division Rural
"Well, I would surely hope that whether or not that is the case. His name is not called, otherwise I'm sure the minor would be exposed."

As you heard in the interview the father has been detained and will face charges. The 16 year old boy will also be charged but for unlawful carnal knowledge. The boy has been discharged from the KHMH.
