Female murder suspect rapes underage boy inside cell

A Kenyan woman, identified as Naomi Nechesa Sanya, has been charged with defiling a 15-year-old boy at the Riruta Police Station.

The 23-year-old had been detained for different offenses on Sunday night.

Senior Principal Magistrate Kennedy Cheruiyot heard the accused, who is being investigated for murder, met the complainant along the corridors of the cells.

The 15-year-old boy had be arrested over a drug-related offence and could not be detained with adults in the cells, State prosecutor Kennedy Panyako said.

The prosecutor said the boy was in the corridors of the police station when the accused bumped into him. Sanya, however, denied two counts of defilement and indecent assault.
