One local told the Super Expressnewspaper: 'The father was left alone with the children.
'There are a lot of them, ten or twelve, the oldest ones have already left.
Around ten years ago, the police were told that he was sleeping with one of his daughters. But after they investigated they couldn't find any concrete evidence.
'The older daughter, who we suspected he had slept with was so scared she refused to say anything.
'He [the father] has such a personality that everyone in this village was afraid of him. That's why this case didn't appear for so long'.
'She later moved away, as did many of his other children. There were about twelve of them.'
