Two police officers have reportedly r*ped a female suspect in
police cell. This is coming after the woman told Tigania Resident
Magistrate Paul Wechuli that two officers based at the Mulika Police
station drugged her milk before r*ping her.
NairobiNews
reports that the woman, who had been locked up at the station on Monday
for malicious damage, said she was later released on Sh30,000 police
bail pending appearance in court.
She was arrested by the police for allegedly destroying a mattress,
assorted clothes and three plastic containers worth Sh70,000 belonging
to her husband Henry Kaberia Karumpa who reported the matter to police.
However, the drama started when she appeared at the court to plead
to the charges, she was told police had not brought her file in court.
When she went to the station to inquire about the file, she was
re-arrested and locked up alone in a separate cell. It was during the
period that the two police officers allegedly r*ped her after drugging
her milk.
Defence lawyer Kennedy Nyamokeri accused police of drugging his
client before raping her and failing to present the cash bail in court.
“Your honour, it is very sad that the accused woke up in a
police cell and realized she had been sexually assaulted by the same
officers who gave her a packet of milk,” said Nyamokeri.
He went on: “My application is that the officers commanding
(OCS) Mulika police be summoned in court in efforts to identify the
rogue officers. Police have not even presented the cash bail that my
client deposited at the station.”
“l have information that the OCS is even aware of the heinous
act by the officers in the station, these kind of things should not be
happening in modern Kenya,” said Mr Nyamokeri.
Mr Wechuli had to release the suspect on free bond so that she could undergo treatment.
The magistrate ordered Tigania East DCIO to investigate the matter
and accompany the victim to Meru Teaching and Referral Hospital for
treatment. He also summoned senior police officers over the r*pe claims.
The court also summoned the OCS Mulika police station and Tigania
East police boss Charles Koskey to tell the court why police booked a
suspect in custody while she had deposited a police cash bail and issued
a receipt.
They will appear in court on Monday next week for the mention of the case.
