The little girl’s mother recounted in court what unfolded on 24 September 2018 when her child was raped.
She gave evidence through an interpreter.
Ninow was following proceedings in the packed courtroom and sat quietly in the dock with his head bowed down.
Earlier, the little girl testified in-camera but rights group Not In My Name said this was unfair.
