A cook who has been accused of sexually assaulting nine minors at the Martyrs of Uganda Children’s home in Kimutwa, Machakos County, has pleaded guilty to only one count.
The suspect, David Mutuku Katuku, was arraigned before Machakos Resident Magistrate E. Analo where he was charged with sodomizing nine boys.
The accused will however remain in custody after the magistrate ordered that a pre-bail report be prepared and filed in court to inform whether the accused will be granted bond.
The prosecution opposed the release of the suspect on bail noting that he went into hiding after knowing police were searching for him following the incident.
The court was further told that it would be difficult to trace the accused as investigations, continue since he has no known abode as he was being hosted a relative.
