A middle-aged man was arrested on Monday morning by the police for allegedly defiling his class six daughter.
This happened at Sagegi village, Suna East in Migori county.
In the area, the act committed to the 13-year-old daughter is not only a crime but an abomination to the norms and traditions of the community.
The family members, after tests, are yet to reveal whether the man impregnated the daughter apart from defiling her.
According to the Deputy County Commissioner Daniel Mutiso, the preliminary tests, as well as the hospital results, showed that the man had defiled the daughter.
"Hospital tests confirmed that the class six pupil was indeed defiled by the suspect, “ reports Citizen TV news.
The man who was identified as Johannes Ouru is currently held in police custody waiting for the reports from the investigative agencies to reveal the authenticity of the information given before he is arraigned in court.
According to the Deputy County Commissioner, the accused is wanted for for more than one crime he has committed in the recent past.
