A man suspected of defiling an eight-year-old Class Three child has been arrested.
The man, 40, had been missing for a week after the incident in Keringet, Kuresoi North. Area OCPD Hesbon Kadenge said police launched a manhunt for the suspect after villagers filed a report.
He said they were still waiting for the girl's family to record a statement on the matter.
An elder, John Lang'at, said the suspect, a divorcee, lured the minor, a neighbour's child, into his house before abusing her.
Lang'at said they took the child to Keringet dispensary for examination and treatment.
