A Gilgil-based KDF soldier is being held at Gilgil police station for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old minor who is said to be his house help.
According to a neighbor, the KDF soldier and his wife had gone to their place of work where the man returned and abused the little girl sexually several times leaving her at a terrible condition .
“The couple had left for their place of work when the man returned and repeatedly abused the minor,” a witness who declined to be named said.
According to the witness, they heard screams from the minor which made them go and confirm what was happening just to find the girl crying helplessly in pain with blood spots on the girl's dress where they immediately informed the police of the crime where they acted and took the minor to hospital.
Confirming the incident, Gilgil Children officer Eunice Njuguna said the girl was in great pain when she was found but so far the state has improve since she had been taken to hospital for medical attention.
“The minor had been employed as a house help when the incident occurred and we are also investigating how she kept out of school,” she said.
Gilgil OCPD Sarah Koki said the suspect has been arrested and would be charged with various offenses in court.
