Libidinous father reported to have sexually molested his 11-year-old daughter at a secluded pathway in Kibwezi, Makueni County is being arraigned today.
Matuku Katumo, 38, was reported to have committed the despicable act on Sunday, January 30 at around 6.30pm, while going home from a shop in company of his daughter.
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.
Outsmarted and sure that the girl was going to report his animosity, Katumo had threatened her with dire consequences. But realizing she had difficulty in walking, he further coached her to frame a fellow pupil at the school, a boy.
Nyumba kumi officials who got wind of the matter yesterday demanded to have the alleged perpetrator questioned, as the victim was taken to Kibwezi Sub-county Hospital for examination.
It was while privately with the medical team that the brave girl exposed her savage dad, who was at the time leading the Nyumba Kumi team to the home of the framed boy.
Kibwezi detectives were informed and immediately arrested the suspect, leaving behind thunderstruck wazees.
This incident preceeded yet another attempted defilement case in Kibwezi yesterday, where a class eight pupil escaped narrowly after passersby rescued her from a ferocious sex pest.
The Athi Salama primary school-goer had been grabbed by 25-year-old Anthony Mutisya Muthoka, as she headed to school in the morning.
Grabbed by the neck and being dragged to a nearby bush, the girl had shrieked to the attention of the public, who scooted to the scene and rescued her.
The suspect was also cornered and arrested, now pending arraignment for attempted defilement.
These two incidents makes five the total number of defilement cases reported in Makueni over the past 5 days, and parents and caregivers are thus advised to take note of this alarming trend.
