The High Court has convicted former Embu North DCIO Jerevasio Njeru of raping a suspect within his office.
The court overturned the magistrate's ruling, which had set him free.
Njeru was charged with raping a 42-year-old lady at Manyatta Police Station on May 31, 2020, about 5 p.m.
In overturning the lower court's verdict, the High Court determined that the rape accusations had been substantiated.
The court remarked that the learned magistrate disregarded the compelling DNA evidence that unmistakably tied the accused to the crime, causing significant injustice to the complainant by acquitting the former officer.
The judge stated that the former DCIO enticed the complainant into his office and exploited her, knowing she was subservient to him and would not report the situation.
