AP charged with defilement

An administration police officer in Kitui County has been charged with defiling and indecently assaulting two girls aged five and eight years.

Constable Jacob Osano, 36, appeared before Kitui Senior Resident Magistrate Albert Lesootia on Monday and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The prosecution said the accused committed the offences at the Matinyani AP lines on July 13 this year.

The minors are daughters of two female administration police officers based at the same station.

The magistrate gave the accused a Sh70,000 bond and set hearing of the case for October 10.
