Esau said the victim’s parents went to a funeral and left her playing with friends. The rapist took advantage of the couple’s absence and invited the young girl into his kitchen where he raped her.

“When the parents returned the girl reported what had happened and that’s when they alerted police at Mzenga who later referred them to Kawalazi Health Centre,” she said

At the health centre the parents were told to take the child to the district hospital where a medical examination confirmed that she had been raped

The suspect is currently in police custody as he awaits to appear in court to answer a charge of defilement which is contrary to section 138 of the Penal Code.

When the two got home, the victim narrated everything to her mother who later reported the matter to police.
