Police officers in Kerengoro Ward, Subukia sub-county have arrested three middle-aged men who allegedly kidnapped and defiled a nine year-old on Friday last week.
The men are allegedly said to have waylaid the minor while she coming from school and raped her.
Confirming the arrest, the area Assistant Chief Joseph Thuo said that the three are in Police custody pending investigations.
He said that the three were apprehended on Saturday after the minor reported the incident to the parents who later informed the Police.
“We have arrested three men who allegedly kidnapped and defiled a minor. We are still carrying out an investigation into the matter to gather enough evidence to table in Court,” said Chief Thuo.
He said that the suspects will be arraigned in Court when investigators complete the probe adding that they are also waiting for report from Nakuru General Hospital where the minor was treated.
Chief Thuo has since asked parents to monitor their kids to help curb such ugly incidents which he says have become rampant.
“Parents should get more concerned about their children’s whereabouts and help us reduce such cases,” said Chief Thuo.
