A 25-year-old man was sentenced to 25 years by a Murang'a court after he was found guilty of defiling a 13-year-old girl.
Asaph Kamau, who was employed at the victim's homestead as a farmhand, was accused of repeatedly defiling the Grade 9 school-going girl on diverse dates between July 7 and July 20, 2024, in the Githambo area of Kahuro Sub County.
According to the victim's aunt, the girl revealed what Kamau did to her on the night of July 20, 2024, after she failed to respond to her call when she wanted the girl to bring her a water jug.
After forcing the girl to talk, she revealed that Kamau forced himself on her in her brother's room.
