Police in Watamu, Kilifi County, have arrested an 85-year-old Swiss national for allegedly defiling a 15-year-old minor.
“The case unfolded
after the victim’s parents reported her missing on 1st February 2026. Despite
efforts to trace her, she could not be found. Acting on a tip-off from members
of the public that a foreigner was seen with a juvenile in one of Watamu’s
villas, police moved swiftly and discovered Gisler with the minor inside the
residence,” read a statement from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The suspect was
