A pastor is being held in Nyamira police cells after he was arrested Tuesday evening for allegedly defiling a form three student.
The 30 year old pastor was busted out by members of public while allegedly defiling the girl in his house at Makairo village in Nyamira South sub county.
During the incident, the girl had left her parents’ home for school but decided to pass by the pastor’s house where the alleged defilement took place.
Confirming the incident, Nyamira police boss Rico Ngare said preliminary investigations had revealed that the girl was already pregnant.
“We have just got a medical report from Nyamira County Referral Hospital which has revealed that the girl is pregnant. Even though the pastor said he was only praying for the girl, DNA tests will be conducted to establish the paternity of the baby after delivery,” the police boss said.
During the incident, area residents beat up the pastor for contravening the sexual rights of the minor before he was handed over to the police.
Ngare said they are yet to arraign the pastor in court once the investigations are over.
