Detectives on Wednesday evening arrested a 49-year-old man named Luka Rutto alias Cherambach, suspected to have defiled his four and six-year-old daughters.
According to DCI, they pounced on Rutto after a teacher noticed the two girls were experiencing difficulties in walking, and upon further inquiry, informed the school headteacher who interrogated the two girls before informing detectives in the area.
"Rutto is believed to have committed the heinous act while living alone with the minors, after separating with their mother. A PP1 teacher at the local school where the girls attend, noticed something unusual, in how the six-year-old was behaving.
"The minor experienced difficulties in walking and was often crying. Attempts by the teacher to get more information from the little girl turned futile," part of the statement reads.
It adds, "This prompted her to summon her four-year-old sister also attending the same school, in a bid to figure out what the problem was. Shockingly, she too exhibited difficulty in walking. The teacher immediately informed the school's headteacher. After talking to the little girls, they said that they only lived with their father, after their mother left their home, a fact the area assistant chief confirmed.
"Without hesitation, the headteacher informed our officers who immediately swung into action. They escorted the minors to Iten County Referral Hospital for medical examination, where the doctors established that the little angels had been defiled. The children’s father was immediately apprehended and placed in Police custody, pending further investigations."
