74-year-old Man Defiled Schoolgirl Moments After His Grandson Sexually Abused Her
A Maua magistrate court heard yesterday how a 74-year-old hotelier defiled a 14-year-old schoolgirl moments after his grandson sexually abused her.
Police Inspector Rose Wanjiru of the Maua police station described how a man only known as Muthuri enticed the girl to a hotel owned by Mr Gitonga Mwenda in Kimongoro market.
When Muthuri met her and took her to the premises, she had been sent by her mother to escort friends who had visited their home after her mother had delivered a baby.
Mr Mwenda allegedly allowed the man to use one of his backrooms on November 27, 2016, where Muthuri defiled the then-schoolgirl all night.
Muthuri, who has been on the run since the incident was reported, left in the morning to sell miraa, leaving the girl in the hands of the accused.
Mr Mwenda allegedly told the girl to prepare him a place to sleep around 10 p.m., after customers had left and Muthuri had not returned, and later joined her in bed and defiled her.
The case investigating officer, Inspector Wanjiru, told Resident Magistrate Andrew Munene that the elderly man had only offered the hungry girl tea and chapati.
Her worried mother, who had been searching for the girl for three days, spotted her at the back of the hotel and rescued her.
She reported the incident to the Kanuni police station, where the girl described how Muthuri defiled her on November 27 and Mr Mwenda defiled her the next day.
Investigators took the girl to Nyambene Maua hospital for a medical examination, where it was discovered that she had been defiled within 72 hours.
A doctor testified in court that there was a new tear in the girl’s private parts, and that a vaginal swab revealed the presence of blood, indicating that she had been defiled.
