Waweru who is a staunch churchgoer begged for his life revealing that he was misled by evil spirit. And as the doors of Murang’a GK Prison slammed on Joseph Waweru, he looked into space in a sombre mood.
He had just escaped death by a whisker when an irate mob raided his homestead in Kabirwa village, Gikindu, on suspicions that he was defiling his underage daughter.
Waweru was arraigned in court on July 21 before Murang’a Chief Magistrate Bildad Ochieng’ to face a count of defilement, which he denied and was granted a Sh200,000 bond.
After being unable to raise the bond, he was remanded in Murang’a GK Prison until August 14 when the matter will be heard.
The victim who is a pupil at Mirira Primary School had missed classes, which raised suspicions amongst teachers. Accompanied by Administration Police officers, residents stormed the house and found the girl heavy with child.
