Dad used Bible to justify sex with daughter [View all]
Pretoria - An Mpumalanga father has been sentenced to life in prison without the option of parole for raping his daughter from the age of 13 and conceiving three children with her.
Andries Sibiya even went so far as to pay his wife lobola to be able to live with his daughter as his wife, reported Beeld.
He used the Bible and selected pieces of the Old Testament to justify his actions and to intimidate his daughter and wife into submission, said the regional magistrate in sentencing.
Sibiya was known as the wheelchair rapist as he insisted on appearing in court in a wheelchair, even though he was able to walk.
Sibiya was described by the court as a domineering person who manipulated his family and instilled fear in them and over a period of 9 years had sex with his daughter two to three times a week.
He was found guilty on 9 charges of rape but could have been found guilty of hundreds of charges of rapes, said the magistrate.
