A 28-year-old man is behind bars for allegedly sodomizing teenage boys in Mikinduri town, Meru County.
The suspect, James Baariu Rungai, was allegedly caught red-handed while sodomizing a 16-year-old boy whom he reportedly threatened and locked inside his house for three days without food.
Anjuki area chief Jacob Michuki Mutiga, who came to the boy’s aid in the company of Nyumba Kumi members, said the suspect had been sodomizing the teenager and locking him in the house from the outside with a padlock without food and water.

He noted that, upon entering the house, they found the man sweating while the boy was naked.
The administrator added that the boy told the police that the suspect enticed him that he would give him food since he lives with his mother in Mikinduri slums and usually slept hungry.
The minor recalled that after arriving at the suspect's house, he locked the door, picked up a machete and ordered him to undress, threatening to cut him into pieces and dump his body in a latrine if he dared to raise alarm.
Mikinduri police officers have since urged all victims as well as their parents to record their statements with the area Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) office so that the suspect can be charged according to his crimes in a court of law.
