A man who tortured and killed his daughter's alleged rapist before turning himself in wanted to send a message that those who commit such crimes cannot escape justice, his wife has said. The 36-year-old father of six turned himself into police last week and confessed to strangling his neighbour after the man allegedly admitted raping the 14-year-old. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the police he acted after discovering that his daughter was pregnant.
