Police in Baringo County are pursuing a middle-aged man from Kapkiamo village for allegedly constantly abusing and defiling his three young daughters.
According to Deputy County Commissioner Obwocha Bobwocha, the man is said to have been abusing the minors after his wife (their mother) fled due to constant domestic disputes.
The children’s mother said she fled her matrimonial home last year after the man threatened to kill her on numerous occasions during the course of their 18-year marriage.
Mr. Bobwocha stated that, upon visiting the home, they found out that the man had been sharing a single bed with his three daughters where he had repeatedly defiled them.
The Deputy County Commissioner added that police are currently in pursuit of the culprit, adding that once arrested, he “will face the full force of the law.”
Mr. Bobwocha’s sentiments were echoed by County Children’s Coordinator Otijom Omutse who said the case is also being handled by the children’s department to ensure they get enough assistance.
Mr. Omutse further warned any parent found abusing children in their custody that the law will catch up with them.
