Police are continuing their investigation into the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl by a group of boys in Naitasiri.
It is alleged that the 15-year-old girl got pregnant after the rape.
Police spokesperson Inspector Jokatama Qio says the alleged incident came to light after the parents of the 15 year old girl found her lying outside their house after she had aborted her baby.
The girl was 5 months pregnant and the baby was still-born.
Qio says the father of the 15 year old girl rushed the girl and the baby to Nausori Health Centre where the baby was pronounced dead.
The girl and the baby’s body were then transferred to Suva.
Qio confirms that they have received confirmation from the girl that she was allegedly raped by a Year 12 secondary school student from Nausori.
He says Police took the student in for questioning yesterday and he is claiming that two other boys were involved in the alleged rape.
The student has been released as Police gather more information.
Police will take the other two boys in for questioning later today.
The 15-year-old girl is still recovering at CWM hospital.
