Nakuru County police are looking into a disturbing case where an 89-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted by her middle-aged neighbor.
According to reports, the older woman was attacked on Wednesday night at her home while she was eating dinner.
The attacker allegedly entered her home through the main gate and then persuaded the single woman to permit him to enter her residence. After that, he attacked the woman and went outside to lock the main entrance before he ran away.
Her son noticed that the woman did not wake up in the morning as usual, so on Thursday, her family and the police took her to a nearby hospital.

The locked gate heightened suspicion, so the son broke into his mother's house and discovered her writhing in agony.
The doctors advised reconstructive surgery after the woman was admitted to the hospital and treated for injuries to her face and pelvis.
"She was wheeled to the theatre, where doctors performed surgery. She is in a stable condition and responding well to treatment, we are still monitoring her. She will be discharged in the next three days. We have filled the P3 form as police investigate the incident," a doctor handling the matter told the Nation.
The suspect who allegedly left his phone at the crime scene and ran away is being sought by the police.
