Kiricha primary school head teacher, Bomet county has become a fugitive following alleged defilement of a grade six pupil. 

The teacher is said to have called the 13- year old minor to his office, while other pupils were out playing in the field.

According to Sotik Sub County Police Commander Francis Ng'ang'a, the police have visited the school in vain for three consecutive days as the suspect has since absconded duty.

Ng'ang'a said the school's academic program has since been disrupted as irate parents demanded for justice, while threatening to withdraw their children from the school.

However, he said security agencies have embarked on thorough investigations into the case, even as they make every effort to apprehend the suspect.

The police commander said the head teacher remained a key suspect, adding that if he was innocent, he should resurface to help the authorities in their investigations.
