In a separate incident, he allegedly assaulted his young daughter by kicking her, hitting her with a slipper and a keychain, and brandishing a glass vase over her head.

Furthermore, the defendant reportedly threatened to run over his wife and daughter with his car, and threatened to bury his wife alive and burn her with their children. Following these violent episodes, the man allegedly forced his wife into their bedroom, stripped her, and raped her despite her resistance.

In their detention request, prosecutors emphasized the defendant's dangerousness and his degrading treatment of his wife. They cited the victim's testimony that her husband told her he brought her to his home "for this [sex] and to clean," arguing this demonstrated he viewed her merely as an object.
