Crime rate in the country is proving to be disastrous everyday with each new case emerging of evil orchestrated in criminal agendas.
A community was more than appalled on learning that a 13 year old girl had been detained for a week by 10 criminals who gang raped her in one of their houses.
The girl was accosted while on her way to the shop on a saturday at 7.oo pm.
Dr Joseph Sitonik, the county executive in charge of medical services, said, “The patient is receiving treatment including counselling. All the necessary support she requires has been accorded.”
The incident comes as at a time when cases of defilement being reported in the county are on the rise.
Bomet Central Deputy County Commissioner Henry Metto said suspects of defilement would be dealt with harshly as a lesson to others.
The act led to a public outcry with locals of Bomet county lamenting over a gang named ‘jesus’ that has been terrorizing them mercilessly.
The gang is said to be attacking and stealing from locals and raping women.
“They are feared by locals and no one will dare to report them to police for fear of reprisal. The gang hides behind the boda boda business,” said a local who sought anonymity.
The residents have asked police to crackdown on the gang.
