A primary school teacher in Gichugu located in Kirinyaga County has been arrested for defiling a class eight candidate.
The incident had been reported at Kiamutugu police station where it was recorded under OB Number OBNO/11/21/10/2022.
Confirming the incident, Mr Edward Ndirangu, the sub-county police Chief of Gichugu said that the 46-year-old teacher lured the 15-year-old girl to his home which is not far from the school where he teaches.
“Our investigations have shown that the suspect is also the pupil’s teacher,” said officer Ndirangu.
He also said that the alleged incident occurred on the 20th of September during lunchtime.
“The suspect is being held at the Kiamutugu police station pending his court appearance on Tuesday,” added Ndirangu.
According to the girl’s mother, her daughter confessed to the incident voluntarily.
“She told me that the teacher told her to swallow some tablets before the act to avoid getting pregnant,” said the girl’s mother.
The girl was examined and given medical attention at the Kiamutugu Health Centre.
Gichugu Police boss decried the rising cases of defilement in the region and implored locals to report such cases to the police instead of solving them at home.
