Domestic. Doctors at an emergency room in southern Sweden raised the alarm after a three-year-old girl was admitted with injuries that indicated both rape and genital mutilation. Three relatives were arrested on Saturday evening on suspicion of the crimes, according to Aftonbladet.


The suspicions arose when relatives sought treatment for the girl, where doctors discovered signs of both rape and previous genital mutilation.

The police were immediately called, and two of those arrested are suspected of having committed a crime against the female genital mutilation law, while a third relative is suspected of aggravated rape of a child.

According to Aftonbladet's information, the three have been arrested, and the girl has been taken into the care of social services.

The police confirm that they were at the scene where the arrests took place.

– We have been there. It concerns an investigation, but I cannot go into what the case concerns, says Fredrik Bratt at Skåne Police.

Prosecutors have now taken over the investigation.
