A man is being held at a police station at Nyansiongo for allegedly defiling a four-year-old girl.
The man is being held at the Nyaronde Police Station waiting to be arraigned in court for the heinous act.
The man, who works as a night guard at Kijauri is said to have committed the crime last week, even though the details on how it happened are scanty.
The mother of the young girl rushed her to the hospital, where it was confirmed that indeed she had been defiled.
The 56-year-old was lucky to escape the wrath of the villagers, who wanted to lynch him, only for some police officers to come to his rescue.
He was taken to Kijauri police post, before being transferred to Nyaronde police station, where he is waiting to be arraigned in court.
The villagers could not understand why the old man, who has grandchildren same age as the young girl he defiled, could commit such a crime to a young soul.
The residents have sworn to teach him a lesson if he ever steps feet in the place and sent a warning that he should stay away if he values his life.
