A police officer from Cheplanget police station in Bureti cub-county, Kericho county is being probed for allegedly defiling and impregnating a school girl inside the station’s cell.
The minor was brought in to the police by her mum as a disciplinary measure after they differed sharply.
On the following day inside the cell, the minor says one of the police officers on guard sexually abused her.
The victim’s uncle, Kipkorir Kirui, expressed his disappointment about how the probes were being done, adding that they were being prevented from knowing the truth.
Bureti sub-county OCPD Peter Isanda said the suspect had been identified and samples of DNA picked and sent to Kisumu for testing, pending release of results.
He added that DCI is currently investigating the case to unravel how the minor was defiled inside the station.
The matter happened on July 5, 2022 at night.
This comes barely days when another police officer was also arrested for stealing sh3400 from detainee.
