Detectives are looking for a man who defiled a 5-year-old girl in Kilia village, Makueni County, southeastern Kenya, on Monday, September 13, 2021.
Peter Nzinzi Musyoki, 40, waylaid the little angel as she went to collect milk at their neighbours’ before he pounced on her and defiled her in a nearby thicket.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspect was reported to have given the minor 15 shillings to buy her silence after the beastly act.
The minor was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment by her distraught mother, who couldn’t come to terms with what had befallen her little angel.
“Meanwhile, a manhunt for the suspect is currently underway, with detectives burning the midnight oil in his pursuit,” said DCI.
The agency has urged anybody with information that may lead to the arrest of Musyoki to contact detectives via toll-free line 0800722203.
