An 18 year old man was yesterday released
on a Sh200, 000 bond with one surety by Kakamega Chief Magistrate Court for
defiling a minor.
The Court heard that Victor Barasa alias Vicky
raped Linda Nasimiyu a 10 year old on the night of 7th this month in
Bunyala.
Victor accepted the charge even
after Chief Magistrate Susan Shitubi took time to explain to him the gravity of
the charge he faced,
“Victor, the law provides that I
take you clear on the charges you are facing which call up to life
imprisonment. It is thus prudent you understand every step of your charges so
that you be guided,” said Mrs. Shitubi.
The panicky Victor was also
accused of a second count of engaging in an indecent act by making his male
part enter that of a minor female, a charge which he denied. The court ordered
Victor’s case be heard on the 2nd of October 2014.
In the same court Jean Claude
Francis a middle aged man was charged with being in possession of illegal
drugs.
The prosecution said that they
arrested Claude in his home with two rolls of bhang with a street value of
Sh.20 in his trouser pocket.
“Mr. Dismus Musee a village elder
and an Administration police were on regular patrol when they heard the accused
hauling from his house a matter that prompted them to check what was happening.
They found the accused looking suspicious and on frisking his trouser pockets
they recovered two rolls of bhang. The accused was escorted to Navakholo Police
station,”read part of the charge.
A repentant Claude pleaded with
the court to forgive him saying he was a brick layer who used bhang
specifically for psyching up because his manual job was too tasking.
Chief Magistrate Susan Shitubi
ordered a probation report be done on Claude to see whether to jail him in
Government correctional facility or take him on community work.
Later on,Cyrus Alumasi was fined
Sh.7, 000 or spend two months in jail by the same court on his own plea of
guilt for selling Changaa without a license.
Mr. Alumasi was found with 200
litres of the illegal liquor in his house in the town’s Shirere estate on
Saturday.
