Kilifi teacher held for alleged defilement

Police in Kilfi are holding a teacher accused of defiling and impregnating his 17-year-old student.

The teacher at a local primary school was arrested by the administration police on Sunday and taken to Kilifi Police Station for interrogation.

Kilifi OCPD Justin Nyaga said the man would be charged in court as soon as investigations are complete.
"We are holding the man in connection with the incident and he is helping us with investigations. I will give concrete information immediately we are through and if we get evidence he will be charged with defilement in court," said Mr Nyaga yesterday.

The girl's uncle said the suspect had sexual relations with the pupil for sometime before she became pregnant.
