Chuka man defiled disabled child, was released on bond and defiled her again, now jailed for life
A
58-year-old man who allegedly defiled a 12-year-old child with special needs,
was arrested and released on bond then went ahead to defile her again, has now
been found guilty of the heinous act and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Chuka
Law Courts Resident Magistrate Oscar Chess Kinyua made the ruling on Tuesday
after the prosecution proved the case beyond reasonable doubt.
The
court heard that the accused defiled the same girl while out on bond for the
initial defilement offence.
The
prosecution team presented testimonies from four witnesses in the case, including
a doctor as well as the investigating officer.
“Among the
evidence produced were the birth certificate, P3 form, PRC form, treatment
notes proving the age of the victim, and evidence of defilement,” the Office of
the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) said in a statement.
“After conviction,
the Magistrate ordered that a pre-sentence report and the victim impact
assessment report be filed. The victim is 12 years old with special needs
living with her single mother, who also suffers from cerebral palsy.”
