Police in Kilifi are holding a pastor, who is accused of raping two women at Vipingo sisal plantation in Kilifi County.
According to Kilifi Directorate of Criminal Investigations Officer Christopher Chesoli, the man was arrested after a tip-off from the public.
“We had a message which had been circulated concerning the incident and the public spotted the vehicle passing near a supermarket in Kilifi town and raised the alarm. The driver sped away but they caught up with him in Mnarani,” said Mr. Chesoli on Sunday.
The police further claim the man purports to be a taxi operator, and the man is said to have used his vehicle for the assaulting of the women.
“He poses as a driver for a private car and always asks for passengers going directly to Mombasa. But on the day he picked up the lady, he branched into a sisal farm, raped the woman, and robbed her of money,” he said.
The man will be arraigned in court today.
