Kitui nurse in court for attempted sodomy

Kitui, Kenya: A nurse based in Kitui County appeared before a Mwingi court on Tuesday and faced a charge of attempting to sodomise a Form Two student.

Ezekiel Kimwangi Njagi, a nurse based at Kanzui dispensary in Mwingi Central Sub-county, denied the charge before Resident Magistrate Grace Kirugumi and was released on a Sh200, 000 bond with a similar surety.

The charge stated that Njagi attempted to sodomise the student at his house in Mwingi town and was arrested on the night of October 31, 2015.

Police who busted him before he could molest the student indicated that they found liquid chemicals and syringes in his house, which they believe were to be used to intoxicate the boy.

The chemicals have been submitted to the government chemist for analysis.
