Chief caught defiling minor during curfew, arrested
Wednesday May 6 2020
A senior chief in Bomet County has been arrested after he was caught red-handed while defiling a 15-year-old girl in his car.
The administrator was found with the local Form One student inside the vehicle at a garage.
David Langat, the chief of Mogogosiek location, was then frog-marched to the local police station where he is currently locked up.
"The suspect has been placed under police custody and will be arraigned in court," said Mr Alex Shikondi, Mogogosiek Sub-county Police Commander.
He added that the girl had been placed under protection and taken to hospital for a check-up after the ordeal in the hands of the 59-year-old administrator.
The shocking incident occurred at around 8 pm on Tuesday at Mogogosiek trading centre in Konoin Constituency.
His Toyota Corolla station wagon registration KAY 514H, which was used by Mr Langat while committing the offence, has been towed to a local police station.
A member of the public is said to have tipped off officers of the unfolding incident, leading to the Police Commander and the Officer Commanding Police Station (OCS) rushing to the scene.
The incident occurred an hour after the curfew imposed by the government to stop spread of Covid-19, and which the chief is supposed to help implement.

A middle-aged man sustained injuries after he jumped from the first floor of a lodging at a city slum over fears that he would be arrested by police officers during curfew hours.
The incident took place at Hazina Sokoni slum yesterday in Starehe Sub-County at around 9 pm.
The man, who confessed he was from Mathare slum, had allegedly booked a lodging with a woman after cheating his wife that he was working a night shift.
"I was leading my officers on patrol during curfew when we found the man writhing in pain," remarked Hazina police post Commander John Odaro.
The officers assisted him and he was taken to hospital.
It was established that trouble started when a butcher carrying a tray of cooked meat that the man had ordered startled him.
He was walking towards their room holding a lit torch since the lights were off.
"After the victim saw the light from the torch, he thought police officers were coming to arrest people and decided to jump from first floor where he sustained a fracture on one leg," a source said.
