A 38-year-old man was on Friday, February 4 arraigned in a court of law for reportedly sexually molesting his 11-year-old daughter.
In an update on Twitter, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) stated that Matuku Katumo was arrested after defiling his daughter on Sunday, January 30 in Kibwezi, Makueni county.
Katumo is said to have done the despicable act on his daughter while heading home with his daughter on the aforementioned day.
"Reporting to the police, the class five pupil at a local day school narrated how her father had restrained her hands along a stretch within Mikuyuni Teachers area, before forcing himself into the petrified girl
"She had, however, deployed all her power and might into fighting off the predatory dad, releasing a piercing cry that shrinked his muscles in fear," DCI said in a statement.
Following the heinous act, Katumo threatened his daughter of dire consequences if she reports him, further couching her to frame a fellow pupil in school after noticing that she had difficulty in walking.
Nyumba Kumi officials got wind of the matter and took the little girl to Kibwezi Sub-county Hospital where she told the medical team of the incident.

The suspect is awaiting arrangement.
