On Tuesday night, a horrific crime shook the community in Murang'a county. A police officer, entrusted with protecting the public, defiled a form three girl in the Aberdare forest, with two assistant chiefs watching.
The officer had lured the girl to the forest, claiming they needed to iron out a misunderstanding. However, his intentions were far from innocent.
According to the girl's statement, the officer plucked some leaves and spread them on the ground, ordering her to undress. He then took off his clothes, unwrapped a condom, and forcefully penetrated her. In a shocking twist, he removed the condom and continued the abuse without protection.
Fortunately, curious locals who had seen the girl enter the forest with the police officer stormed the scene, arresting one of the assistant chiefs. The police officer and the other administrator escaped, but the police later rescued the assistant chief from a lynching mob. The officer remains at large.
