A middle-aged man shocked residents of Nyanchogochi village Raganga Kitutu Chache South constituency Kisii County after he allegedly raped his aunt.
The incident happened on Tuesday night.
Residents said the suspect Samuel Murwa raped his aunt who he found lying on the road drunk.
“It is a big shame Murwa has brought raping his aunt after he found her sleeping on the road few meters from her home drunk. He damaged her private parts severally,” said a local Raphael Makori.
Area assistant chief Simon Mbwayo confirmed the incident and said the tests done on the victim at Nyagancha dispensary tested positive and the victim is currently being treated at the facility following the injuries she sustained during the ordeal.
“The victim was rescued by passersby who heard her screaming for help when the suspect had already fled from the scene. She tested positive to have been raped when she was taken to Nyagancha dispensary where she is currently being treated,” he said.
Mbwayo said the suspect who has gone into hiding is being traced.
He said local youths in the area raping minors and drunk women should stop before the law catches up with them.
Elders in the area led by Andrew Okako condemned the man and said he will never have peace for the rest of his life.
