A father who raped his five-year-old adopted daughter so brutally she died from the injuries

A FATHER is facing trial for allegedly killing his five-year-old adopted daughter after savagely raping her.

The man, from Russia, identified only as Denis, had allegedly brutally beaten the disabled child before sexually assaulting her.

Denis, from the village of Gnilushi, in south-west Russia’s Lipetsk region, is said to only have stopped beating the toddler once she started bleeding heavily.

Doctors said she died from massive internal injuries and blood loss.

A police spokesman said: “The autopsy results said the girl died from internal bleeding caused by the fracture of internal organs.

“Denis has admitted his guilt. He has been detained.”

The girl was adopted by Denis and his wife from an orphanage. The couple already have four children of their own.

Authorities said the injuries sustained by the little girl were so severe that it might not have been the first time she was assaulted.

Meanwhile the couple’s four children have been taken into care while Denis awaits trial in prison.
