A step father in Tana River County has been jailed for life for defiling his 9 year old mentally challenged step-daughter.

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 30th September 2024, and he was consequently sentenced to life imprisonment on 28th October 2024, after the prosecution proved the case beyond reasonable doubt.

The court heard that the victim was defiled by the accused on the 14th September 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 and upon examination she noted her clothes had blood stains and this was collaborated by medical evidence.
