Boda boda rider charged with defiling 14-year-old girl

A boda boda operator has been charged with defiling a 14-year-old girl. Lincoln Mukundi appeared before Embu Resident Magistrate Jean Ndengeri where he was accused of committing the offence on October 12 at Nembure in Embu West sub-county.

Mukundi denied the offence and sought to be released on bond. He also sought to be supplied with the charge sheet, witness statements and any other document the State intends to use against him in the case.

The magistrate ordered the suspect be released on Sh500,000 bond and surety of similar amount. The magistrate also directed that the suspect be supplied with the documents sought.

Mukundi could not immediately raise the bond and was escorted to Embu G.K Remand Prison. The hearing continues on November 6.
