Father Sentenced to Life Imprisonment For Defiling Mentally Ill Daughter
A court in Kenya has jailed a man for life for life for defiling his 9-year-old mentally challenged step-daughter in Hola, Tana River County.
Hola Resident Magistrate Benson Kabanga heard that the minor was lured into sexual activities by the convict when her mother was away.
“Hon. Kabanga convicted the accused on September 30 2024, and he was consequently sentenced to life imprisonment on October 28 2024, after the prosecution proved the case beyond reasonable doubt,” said the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution.
The prosecution called 6 witnesses who testified and established a case against the accused.
The court heard that the victim was defiled by the accused on September 14, 2022, after the victim’s sister stumbled on them in the act when she returned from school.
The victim’s mother also testified that she returned home and found the victim crying. Upon examination, she noted her clothes had blood stains, and this was corroborated by medical evidence.
