The woman appeared before Keroka Principal Magistrate Collins Ombija. She was charged with defiling the Standard Six boy.

The widow is said to have committed the offence at her home on March 5. She was arrested two days later.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has lined up four witnesses to testify.
