A man who did horrible things to three little girls
inside a church, is being made to pay maximally
for his crime.
The man identified as Harrison Kinyua, has been
sentenced to spend 100 years in prison.
Kinyua, a 20-year-old man from Kangaru village in
Embu county, Kenya was sentenced to 100 years
in prison for defiling three minors inside a church.
According to Tuko, Harrison Kinyua, is said to
have defiled the girls aged between 10 and 13
years on December 10, 2015.
He pursued the girls who were returning seats to
the church which had been borrowed for a funeral
at a nearby home.
He then closed the gate and locked the church
doors then ordered the to lie down before defiling
them.
The Embu court heard that the accused only
defiled two girls, dismissing one of the girls who
didn’t show puberty signs.
He then went ahead to give each of them Ksh 20
to buy chips after the act.
The parents, however, discovered the incident and
took them to Embu Level Five Hospital for
examination.
“Their clothes were dirty especially on the back
side. There was tenderness in their private parts
and a whitish discharge. Two of them had been
defiled before,” the doctor told the court.
Kinyua denied the charges claiming the girls’
families had ill motives, but the magistrate said
all evidence proved his guilt.
Embu Senior Resident Magistrate Vincent
Nyakundi sentenced Kinyua to 100 years in prison
saying the offense was serious and should be
served to deter others.
