Police in Kikuyu on Tuesday arrested a 62-year-old 'preacher' for allegedly attempting to defile a minor.
The man, identified as Onesmus Kimani, allegedly lured the 15-year-old girl into his house in King’eero to shelter her from the heavy rains.
According to Kikuyu OCPD Mutune Maweu, the girl was rushed to PCEA Kikuyu Hospital for treatment as investigations into the incidence continues.
“Investigations into the conduct of the suspect have already begun and very soon we expect to gather enough evidence to prosecute the suspect,” Maweu said.
Maweu asked residents to report crime incidents to the police for immediate action saying cases of rape in the area are on the increase.
