Did policeman rape minor inside police cells?


A police officer suspected of raping a minor inside police cells in Murang’a has been arrested.

The officer is suspected to have defiled the 14 year-old at the Murang’a Police Station and then threw the condom he had used to the roof of the station’s toilets.

An inmate who witnessed the officer clean himself and throw away the condom, took his frustration to social media, prompting authorities to investigate the matter.

On Sunday, the station OCS, Job Njiru ordered for the investigations to be initiated.

Detectives pursuing the case have since found the used condom.

The officer was arrested and taken by two of his colleagues to the Murang’a District Hospital for medical examination.

DNA ANALYSIS

‘The used condom that was retrieved from the top of the roof has been preserved in the laboratory at the Hospital where it is expected to be taken to the Government Chemist so that the extracts can be used for DNA analysis,” a report from the police station indicated.

The incident, booked under OB number 40/02/10/2017, has been handed over to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

Meanwhile the witness who posted about the incident on social media has taken to the same platform to reveal that he had received several threats to his life after posting the issue on Facebook.

Jeff Nelson G’s post on Facebook indicated that he had been arrested on Friday last week for creating disturbance in a police station, resisting arrest and obstructing the police in their line of duty.

“We were six in the male cells and a young juvenile in the ladies cells who had been booked in for stealing,” he said.

“On Saturday night the a male cop who seems to be in his 30s walks in and switched the lights off, he then proceeded to the ladies cells where the juvenile had been locked in alone, I peeped through the cells door and I could hear some murmurs and movement,” he added.

ZIPPING HIS TROUSERS

“I spent about ten minutes there only to see the same cop walking out zipping up his trousers. He then proceeds to a tap near the toilets, pulls out the spent condom, cleans himself n throws the dirt above the toilets roof, he then goes back to the OB desk and comes back with a roll of toilet paper and hands it to the girl,” he wrote.

He said that he alerted the police officer that he had seen what he had done. The officer, he said, started being kind to him.

“I managed to interrogate the young girl who tells me that the cop promised to bail her out if she gave in to his demands.

“Early this morning the cop checked out of duty n left without a word. I was released at around 10am n as I left the young girl was still in the cells faced with even more problems than just her case,” he said.

On Wednesday, Nelson indicated that he had received threats, but said he did not fear the repercussions of fighting for the rights of a young girl.
