A private school teacher in Kaewa Sub-Location, Kathiani Sub-County, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly defiling his 14-year-old student.
Confirming the incident, Kaewa chief, Mr Titus Mbuva, said the suspect was arrested in his home in Kaewa shopping centre, following reports from Community Policing and Nyumba Kumi members.
"Some members of the initiative become suspicious when they saw the young girl getting into the teacher's house unattended, and reported the matter to the police. The police stormed into the suspect's house and found the girl naked, used condoms, and the teacher hiding under the bed," said Mbuva.
The girl was taken for a medical exam in Kathiani Level Four Hospital, while the teacher was taken to Kathiani Police Station, before being arraigned in court on Monday.
Mbuva urged parents to guide their children especially during the holidays, adding that parents should monitor their children whereabouts and activities.
He also advised parents to educate their children about sex and encourage them to report cases of defilement.
