A 41-year-old man from Nairegei Enkare, Narok County, was arrested in connection to the defiling of a 10-year-old child.

According to a police record, the man was caught in the act on November 3 by the victim's mother.

According to reports, the girl was washing dishes when the offender grabbed her hand and pushed himself on her.

According to the victim's mother, she was in a 'come we stay' relationship with the perpetrator, whose source of money was putting corn into trucks.

The girl's mother said the perpetrator told her to send the kids to another shed to wash utensils and noticed they'd taken a long time, and when one of the kids had returned while the other had not, she smashed the door to the room and discovered the man naked and in the act.
