63 year-old man lures minors with maize, defiles them

A 63 year old man was on Wednesday arraigned in court and charged with defiling two minors aged 7 and 5 years at Kithimu village in Embu West Sub County.

John Njriru Njue is said to have arrived home at around 3.00PM and found his 6 year old grandson playing with the two girls whom he lured into a maize plantation with a promise that he was going to give each of them maize to roast.

Njriru, however, denied the charges before Senior Resident Magistrate Munene Githinji and was released on a bond of 100,000 shillings with a surety of similar amount.

The case will be heard on August 16th, 2015.
