KOTA KINABALU: The trial of two General Operations Force policemen accused of raping a 13-year-old girl, an incident that sparked off a diplomatic tiff between Manila and Kuala Lumpur, began at the Sessions Court here yesterday.
Her blind and wheelchair-bound father was called as the first witness. The 74-year-old man said that his daughter told him that she had been raped only when they were reunited at a welfare home following her return to Sabah from the Philippines, where she had been deported.
