Nakuru Law Courts. [Photo: judiciary.go.ke]A 43-year-old man was on Tuesday charged before a Nakuru court with defiling a 14-year-old boy.Appearing before principal magistrate Joe Omido, Cirus Makenzi was accused of committing sodomy at Soko Mjinga estate in Nakuru West on December 6.He denied the charges, saying the offence he is being charged with is an allegation from a case already before another court where he faces similar charges of sodomising five minors and is out on bond.“It’s not true your honor, I was the one who was sodomised and I reported the matter to police but was arrested and charged,” Makenzi told court the court as quoted by the Star.According to the prosecution, Makenzi lured the minor into his house and ordered him to commit the act. The boy raised alarm and the neighbors came to his rescue, court papers state.State prosecutor Sandra Kosgey told the court the accused was almost lynched by a mob on the day of arrest urging the court not to release him on bond, but remand him until a social inquiry report is availed to the court.“The investigating officer is telling me that the accused person was almost killed by a mob at the scene of the crime. The ground is still hostile and it is not a good idea to release him on bond,” Kosgey said.The accused, however, opposed the remand and said he would be safe. Omido ordered the suspect be remanded at Nakuru GK Prison until December 27, when a social inquiry report will be availed.“The safety of the accused is paramount to the court, hence, he cannot be released on bond,” Omido said.
