Af, who lived together with the two women for years, made their lives a hell. « Refusing sexual favors, because then they were mistreated. He both kept them in the knot, » said their lawyer.
The eight children also did not escape the terror. « Every day they were confronted with physical violence and were given whip and beating, » said the attorney. « They were mistreated and beaten, but not in the face. That would stand out too quickly at school. »
