A 79-year-old man from Kakamega’s Murhanda in Kenya, has been arrested for defiling a school girl at a tea plantation in Liyenga village.
The suspect, Elijah Esani was caught by a security officer at Itenyi Secondary School, who was on a night shift, and found shredded Primary School uniform.
It was gathered that the security officer found the helpless 13-year-old class six pupil struggling in the jaws of the paedophile, and immediately raised alarm as he wrestled him down.
“ The old man was lucky to have the Area Assistant Chief alert the Police, just as irate members of the public were thronging the scene. The minor has since been treated at a local health centre and in stable condition,” a source disclosed.
Meanwhile, one Richard Kufwa, a commercial motorcyclist, is in police custody for rape.
The female victim who is a teacher at a secondary school within Machakos County, had requested the 31-year-old suspect to take her to the school, after running errands at Malaa shopping centre that ran into the first hour of the night.
“ Once in the cover of darkness at Misuuni feeder road, the suspect dragged the victim to the road side, restraining her before committing the heinous act.
“ Distress calls from the lady who was helplessly fighting back attracted a handful of locals who were walking to their homes, but the suspect managed to escape.
“ On receiving the report, detectives immediately launched an overnight manhunt for Nyonga, before nabbing him at his hideout at the wee hours of today,” a police source stated.
Nyonga and Esani have also been arraigned.
