A Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) soldier has been arrested for defiling a 12-year-old girl in Langas, Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County.
KDF Private Elly Kipkoech, based at 9KA Second Brigade, was arrested from his hideout on Sunday afternoon after sexually assaulting the Class Seven pupil the previous day, according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The minor arrived home late at around 7:30 pm on Saturday and informed her worried mother that she had been held hostage by a man, who took advantage of her.
Upon further interrogation, the mother noticed blood stains on her daughter’s undergarments and pleaded with her to reveal the identity of the perpetrator.
The mother reported the matter to Eldoret-based detectives, who employed digital and cyber forensics to trace the suspect, who was hiding at Green Park estate within the town.
“Private Elly Kipkoech is currently being processed for arraignment in accordance to military parlance, after being positively identified by the victim,” DCI says in a report.
The minor and the suspect have since undergone medical tests at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital.
“The Directorate of Criminal Investigations’ Anti Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit remains on high alert following an increase in sexual offenses and commits to bringing every perpetrator of the vice to book, regardless of the positions they hold in society,” DCI added.
Men behaving like animals…
Men behaving like animals. What a shame! Truly these selfish men only use their small heads to think.Otherwise how could you put your career, image,family reputation, and respect online to disgrace yourself like that.It would be horrible enough to rape awoman,but going for achild…?Let’s see how justice plays out here,mindful that barely a week has passed since a maid was sentenced to life for molesting a small boy.
If a KDF soldier is doing…
If a KDF soldier is doing this in Eldoret what else has he done along Kenyan-Somali border?
The worst thing in this case…
The worst thing in this case will be releasing the suspect on bond(the poop katiba demands) as he will definitely threaten the victim and other witnesses.
This is beyond belief.
What…
This is beyond belief.
What in hell did he see in a 9 year old??
This more like COMMITTING MURDER to me.
Think about the trauma this child is going THROUGH.
THE JUDGEMENT SHOULD BE LIFE WITHOUT ANY POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.
That’s why sometimes I BELIEVE in mob justice.
