Ngong Court sets free father accused of defiling step-daughter in the bedroom

A Ngong court has set free a man who had been framed of defiling his step- daughter.
Geoffrey Mutaki Wamalwa had been accused of defiling his step daughter, then 11 years old, on diverse dates between April 2018 and April 2019 at their home in Rongai. He was alternatively charged for touching the minor indecently. 
Wamalwa denied both accusations leading to trial.

The trial court heard that the minor wrote a letter dated July 14 2019, addressed to her teacher. In the letter, she claimed that Wamalwa had defiled her during school holidays and had warned her against talking to anyone. In court, the minor claimed that her mother had traveled outside the country when the heinous crime was committed.
