Police arrest man found living with Form Three student in Taita-Taveta County
Police have arrested a man found living with a form three student at his employer’s place in Taita-Taveta County.
Police are holding a farmhand for allegedly living with a Form Three student in Taita-Taveta County.
On the premise of a tip, the police stormed the suspect’s hideout on Sunday night, led by Wumingu Chief Paskim Kisambio.
The man and the girl were escorted to the police station in Wundanyi.
“The man had been living with the girl in his employer’s servant’s quarter for a week,” said Mr Kisambio.
At the Wundanyi police station, the chief said they recovered dozens of condoms and books from the suspect.
“We have interrogated the student, who says she wants to be married and does not want to go back to school. We are taking her for medical examination to determine her health status before the suspect is charged. It is criminal to marry and defile a minor,” he said.
Figures released recently by the National Crime Research Centre showed that in the past month alone, the county reported 27 defilement cases and that every week the county has been recording between four and five cases.
