A father of three was today convicted by Loitoktok law court for defiling his 13-year-old daughter. Lesinko Milia was convicted by Resident Magistrate Nelson Njuguna for incest with his daughter on October 23, at Olchoro village, Loitoktok Sub County.

The accused is said to have committed the offence after his wife, Juliet Wanjiru left home at around 11.00pm on the material day after a quarrel.

The girl had narrated to the court how the two quarreled and her mother left as the accused forced her to remain in the house as she attempted to follow her mother. Later as they slept his father forced her to get out of bed and took her to the sitting room where he forced her to undress before defiling her.

The following morning on their way to school the girl narrated her ordeal to her mother after they met her as she was coming back home.

The matter was reported at Loitoktok Police station and the accused was arrested while the minor was taken to Loitoktok Sub County Hospital for treatment. In court the accused denied the allegations and in his defence said he was framed by his wife who had conspired with the daughter after frequent quarrels.

However the court found prosecution had proved the case beyond reasonable doubt and hence the conviction. The matter was set for sentencing on December 19.
