Its so absurd the kind of criminal activities that are some times reported to have taken place in Kenya. Sometimes they really get to your skin like a mother illegally circumcising her beautiful twins even though female genital mutilation has been banned in Kenya.
In another case,a 22-year-old man was today arraigned in court and charged with sexually assaulting a mentally challenged woman at Kathagariri village in Embu North sub-county, Embu County.
Appearing before Embu Chief Magistrate Maxwell Gicheru, the accused; Andrew Munene Njogu denied the offence.
Munene was charged that on October 15, 2018 at around 1pm at Kathangariri village, he intentionally and unlawfully sexually assaulted the woman whose mental status is known to be challenged.
The accused was reportedly walking home on said day before meeting the woman and luring her to a nearby bush where he raped her.
A passerby who sought to pee in the bush, caught the accused red-handed in the act with the woman and raised alarm during which he (accused) escaped but was later arrested.
He was released on a Ksh 200,000 bond and surety of a similar amount and the case was set for January 4, 2019.
Do you think the accused deserved to be released on bond?
