An innocent life ravaged by a monster

Sir,

Regarding your November 22 article, ‘DNA tests show girl raped by father wasn’t his daughter’.

I was rather confused about the man who raped his 15-year-old daughter, who was “shocked” at the fact that DNA tests show that he was not her father.

Was he shocked of his capital crime, or by the fact that his incestuous fantasies have just been “downgraded” to the raping of a minor?

I guess that does not matter in the greater scheme of things. Another innocent life has been ravaged by one of the monsters who roam among us, with the disguise of a human being.

I think its about time these monsters get loaded on a government registry, listing their address and their occupation so that they the rest of us can finally protect our families from them.

Let justice show them the same pity that they showed to their victims as they savagely stole away their dignity, without the least bit of hesitation or mercy.
