It seems all women in Migori should be included in the list of the most endangered species in the world. This is a region where a seven month pregnant woman, was gang-raped before being stabbed eight times.
More worrying is the fact that the area governor is the chief suspect in the brutal murder of his then girlfriend Sharon Otieno in September last year. The Rongo University student was found in a thicket in Kodera forest on 4th September.
But Sharon’s murder is not the only tragic story to affect women in Migori.
Another sad story is emerging from the region. Police are pursuing a suspect accused of defiling and impregnating a 13-year-old class one pupil at Kindu primary school in Awendo, Migori County.
This was after the pupil, who is reported to be mentally unstable, tested positive for pregnancy on Wednesday at a health facility confirming her grandmother’s suspicions.
While she can positively identify the culprit, the victim could not give a clear narration of her ordeal but identified the place as near a stream in the area.
Now who impregnates a mentally challenged class one pupil? This can only happen in Migori.
