Imphal, July 29 2017:
The proscribed UNLF has claimed responsibility for killing Irom Bobo of Tharoijam Maning Leikai at Tera Pukhrambam Leirak at around 7.40 pm yesterday .
A press release issued by the outfit's department of publicity director M Sak-hen said that Irom Bobo was awarded capital punishment for the bestial crime of raping his own niece .
Taking advantage of solitude, Irom Bobo mercilessly raped a 12 year old girl in the night of July 1, 2013 .
The girl is a daughter of his wife's younger sister.
His wife went away to her married sister's home and other children had fallen asleep when he committed the abominable crime, the outfit said .
It takes time to punish such criminals as they would go to jail for sometime only to leave their homes and settle in rented houses within and outside the State .
UNLF was searching for Irom Bobo since 2015 when he was released from jail.
The punishment given to Bobo should be an example to all future rapists, it added.
