A 75-year-old man from Ikolomani in Kakamega County was on Saturday evening (October 26) arrested on suspicion of defiling a 14-year-old girl.
The suspect allegedly lured the teenager into a thicket, where he is said to have committed the crime.
Police say the septuagenarian “paid” the girl Ksh100 for the act.
He will be arraigned on Monday, October 28.
Ikolomani MP Bernard Shinali was on Sunday morning involved in a grisly accident along Kapsabet-Mau Summit road.
Confirming the accident, Butere MP Tindi Mwale wished the MP and occupants of the vehicle quick recovery following the incident.
The vehicle registration number KBY 948A rolled several times on the road in Molo, few kilometers to Nakuru town. It was badly damaged.
The Butere MP however while confirming the accident did not specify which hospital they were rushed to for treatment or the extent of injuries.
Mr Shinali buried his son, Chris Masaka on Friday after he was flown from the US. He was serving in the US Marine and is said to have drowned.
The body of Ikolomani Member of Parliament Bernard Shinali’s son Chris Atema Masaka is set to be flown to Kenya Wednesday, ahead of burial likely to follow days later.
Atema, a United States marine officer, drowned in a swimming pool in the state of Arizona last week.
The family on Monday said that arrangements to fly his body home have been concluded, and it is expected in Kenya any time on Wednesday.
The planned transportation follows a funeral service in Iowa where friends of the 35-year old got an opportunity to pay their last tributes.
According to Robert Ayisti, a brother to the deceased, Masaka who was on holiday drowned while trying to save a young girl who was drowning in the same pool.
Consequently, the MP has been in the states to organize the transportation, with his Navakholo counterpart Emanuel Wangwe coordinating the burial committees in Nairobi and Ikolomani.
Family reports indicate that the deceased might be laid to rest this weekend.
