A 22-year-old watchman was today sentenced to life imprisonment by a Kiambu court after he was found guilty of defiling a minor.
Rodgers Kuria was convicted for defiling a minor in his house on March 22, 2015 in Kirigiti village, Kiambu.
The court heard that Kuria lured the minor into his house by giving her sweets after which he committed the offence and warned her never to tell anyone.
The court was told that the girl bled for three consecutive days after the act prompting the mother to take her to Kiambu District Hospital where a doctor examined her and confirmed that she had been defiled.
The accused was arrested and arraigned before the court.
He, however, denied committing the offence before Kiambu Principal Magistrate Diana Mochache.
In his ruling, the magistrate said the prosecution had proved beyond any reasonable doubt that Kuria indeed committed the offence.
