On Tuesday night, a 14-year-old girl in Bomachoge Chache Constituency was gang-raped by four men, leaving her unconscious in a maize plantation. The incident occurred five days ago, but no suspect has been arrested.
The girl's parents, who spoke to journalists at Ogembo Level Four Hospital, said the four men, all over 30 years old, are well known to the family. One of the suspects is the son of someone who bought a portion of their family land, while the other three are their neighbors.
According to the girl's father, "My family is deeply affected by what happened to our daughter who was gang raped on Tuesday night for several hours and then left unconscious in a maize plantation where she was found on Wednesday morning."
The girl was admitted to the hospital with low sugar levels, but she is now in stable condition, according to Francis Gwaro, a clinical officer at the Gucha Level Four Hospital.
The Law Society of Kenya President, Nelson Havi, has taken up the matter to ensure that the defiled girl gets justice.
The police are investigating the matter, with Gucha Sub-County Deputy Police Commander Moses Kosgei confirming that they are looking into the incident.
