Police Officer Kevin Mutheu assigned to Matete post in Lugari Constituency, Kakamega County has been arrested on accusations of defiling and impregnating a 15-year-old girl.
He was on Monday, November 2nd arrested after being found with the teenager in a lodging getting ready at Chimoi trading centre.
Mutheu is claimed to be accountable for the girl’s 4-month pregnancy.
“Mutheu has been defiling my daughter, and finally we caught him red-handed. I do not want to settle this matter out of court. I want the suspect arraigned,” said the teens' father.
The teens' teacher, Mr Robert Mandila, who doubles to be the head-teacher of Makange Primary School, explained the Class Eight pupil as a “bright learner with a promising future."
“She is a bright child. In her last exam, she scored 320 marks out of the possible 500. The girl has a promising future, but it appears the defiler is out to ruin it,” Mr Mandila added.
Lugari sub-county education officer Tom Oluoch, confirmed the incident saying “I am urging police to ensure that the suspect is prosecuted.”
Mutheu is detained at Matete Police Station as investigations into the defilement allegations continue.
